Not long before shots rang out, rally goers noticed a man climbing to the top of a roof of a nearby building and warned local law enforcement, according to two law enforcement officials.
One officer climbed to the roof and encountered Crooks, who pointed his rifle at the officer. The officer retreated down the ladder and Crooks quickly took a shot toward former President Donald Trump, and that’s when the U.S. Secret Service counter snipers shot him, said the officials who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.

Better clarity: Replace “below” with “behind” in my last post.
Wrong. See post 120. The closer sniper raising his head from his ‘scope is almost certainly him trying to “find” the bogey having just popped up over the ridgeline. Both clearly flinch - my guess is that these guys have not regularly trained for this under live fire.

doesnt ss have a one word code for there is danger protect the President
We’re fighting directly against a Marxist Communist overthrow of our Nation. A color revolution. That same Jacobin anti-Christ spirit that rose up in France. This IS an evil spirit at work and it has an almost inexhaustible supply of these leftists disciple acolytes to hurl their bodies over the castle wall, they only have to succeed once.
That demonic Obama creature is elder abusing dementia Biden in almost the same manner and toward the same end of destroying our freedoms, only to be tossed aside after his usefulness has ended or becomes questionable.
Satan gives them their seat, power and great authority.
Weird language is used to cover up the fact it was a female officer.
Maybe "they" were named "Barney" and only had two bullets for their pistol?
Thanks for that...
He climbs a ladder using 2 hands. As soon as he starts over the top the gunman points a gun at him. What is he suppose to do? No time to pull his weapon and shoot so he backs down under cover and evaluates the situation. In those few seconds the gunman fires, the gunman is killed, and any one going on the roof right then is another suspect.
Not a chance this is true. Just a lie floated to try to cover for either the incompetence or the plot. TMZ has video of the guy from right before he started shooting up until he was taken out by police snipers. There was clearly no one else on the roof.
Looks like AP sent the article down the memory hole. I can’t find it using the links you posted.
Your calander may say 2024 but we are living in 1984.
I wonder what sort of ladder this was (straight up steel commercial ladder coming up at a roof scuttle, or, a convenional ladder leaned against an outside wall), and where the ladder came up on the roof, relative to the shooter’s firing position and Trump’s location.
Have climbed plenty of ladders, including tall extension ladders while holding objects much larger and heavier than a semiautomatic pistol (impact drill, sledgehammer, etc) while wearing a utility belt loaded with other tools. Honestly, it isn’t difficult. Not OSHA approved method, I’m sure, but it’s not difficult, I promise you. As far as having the pistol loaded, of course it would be, why would that make a difference? Also, if the cop didn’t feel comfortable climbing one-handed, then climb two handed until just below the edge of the roof, unholster, pop up with gun in one hand and other hand on the ladder rung. Every handgun drill includes strong hand only shooting for just such a scenario.
You're finally making sense.
