Witnesses frantically tried to warn police of rifle-carrying sniper on roof before Trump assassination attempt

Witnesses desperately tried to warn police that a rifle-toting sniper was crawling on a roof moments before gunfire erupted at the Trump rally Saturday.

“You could clearly see him with a rifle,” the man, wearing a MAGA 2020 hat, told BBC News. “We’re pointing at him. The police are down there running around on the ground.

“We’re like, ‘Hey, man, this guy on the roof with a rifle.’ And the police were like, ‘Huh?’ They didn’t know what was going on.”

The witness claimed he and his friends tried warning police for several minutes as Secret Service members watched on, choosing not to take action until between five and eight shots were fired, the origins of which he said “100%” came from the rifle-carrying man.

The left media and guest (former SS) are encouraging no more rallies

Hopefully they all shared video testimony far and wide.

Something is not right here and very many want answers.

Secret Service has a lot of explaining to do.

Trump needs former Delta, Seal, and Raider operators on his detail. Secret Service just isn’t cutting it.

Unforgivable.

The Secret Service is not to be trusted. They probably hate Trump as much as the FBI. Their reaction was so slow, it was like was done on purpose.

Of course they are. Perhaps we can imagine a connection to the way CNN setup Biden for failure on the recent debate with Trump.

.
They will keep this story and discussion to right outlets, and they’ll do the - there’s no such thing as Antifa strategy.

The Networks are pushing the great heroes narrative.

This was an unforgivable breach.

Their reaction was so slow, it was like was done on purpose.

But miraculously they were able to shut up the shooter immediately a la Jack Ruby and faster than they did in Las Vegas.

The excuse that SS couldn’t see the shooter is BS because otherwise how could they have had a sniper in position to kill the shooted just seconds after he shot at Trump?

We need a full accounting of what happened here and any damn democrat who tries to block it should be charged with obstruction.

This is unbelievable.

I thought I had an idea of what was going on a few hours ago. Now... clueless.

I think I'm still in shock. Like I'm in a movie. That debate. The Dem party melt. Trump shot. I can't believe this moment in political history is repeating. Reliving the 60s such a distant memory. The same hopeless gut sick feeling.

I can’t post the photo but at the link below the NY Times has an overhead photo showing the area where the stage was and the building where the shooter was. There should have been agents there, it is way too close.

Trump's former Dr Ronny Jackson? Gave his nephew Family seating tickets. The shooter shot in their direction. The VIP section, those are the wounded, deceased. His nephew was hit and is ok.
Per interview cable news. I'm switching stations.

Ok, not directed at just you, as there is already the typical FReeper ‘conspiracy’ speculation following your comment. I’m willing to wait for more information, but …

if there is any failure on the part of SS here, it’s way above the detail that extracted Trump from the kill zone today. The size of the detail, resources available, would be determined by some suit working for the Biden admin. The detail did their job heroically. They covered Trump quickly as human shields, then moved him quickly to the beast. The sniper dispatched the shooter. Could they have prevented the shooters first shots with more personnel, likely yes. Ask why the detail isn’t more extensive.

If this was a conspiracy, the shooter would have been a pro and not have missed. This was likely one of thousands of brainwashed communists encouraged by left wing rhetoric, not controlled by leftist, but certainly condoned by them. Their plan is simple and it’s been effective, create chaos and hate.
