As the FBI continues its investigation into the shooting at the rally of former US president Donald Trump, urgent reviews of the security surrounding the event are in motion.
Just how 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks managed to get onto a building with a rifle, relatively close and with a clear view of Trump is one of the key questions being asked of the Secret Service.
Another is why buildings less than 150 metres from the former president were not secured.
To get a better understanding of what took place at the rally in the Butler Farm Showgrounds and its surrounds, the ABC recreated the scene using a combination of existing data and our own modelling, based on analysis of video and still imagery from the rally.

Next I will post a link to WAPO's model and their perspective.
Here is the link to the WAPO model—
I guess the MSM’s reach hasn’t shut down ABC in Australia. Yet.
I hope everyone notices how WAPO places the shooter close to the left side of the building’s roof.
While ABC AUSTRALIA places the shooter close to the right side of the building.
We have all seen the videos of the crowd seeing the shooter on the right side.
WAPO is in major coverup mode for the SS. I am not surprised.
i see this WAPO link has a paywall.

Secret Service sniper teams had their view of assassin blocked.

The countersnipers lacking good vision is 100% BS. Counter snipers are not the only asset. For God sake, we have seen attendee cell phone footage that would indicate that they had a great view of Crooks and had they had guns themselves, they probably could’ve been able to take him out. The coverup/bullshit parade has now begun.
When it came time to take the shooter out, one of those two teams had no problem with the line of sight. They shot him dead right away.
The murderer, Crooks, not only managed to get into position, two of his shots look to be kill shots but for the Providential turn of Trump’s head as the rifle was fired. Speaking of fired, how many have been fired over this screwup?
No doubt when all of the reports have been made, we’ll be told that it was just dumb luck that a 20-year-old managed to outsmart dozens of Secret Service agents and local cops at the scene. And nobody with any brain will believe it.
On this link...the last view presented...the vie of the shooter...really captures how close (and easy) the shot was to make.
“Witnesses speaking to the media after the shooting said they saw Crooks with a rifle, moving into place before any shots were fired.”
From the GROUND.
She must mean the "event" that was her being hired as USSS Director in the first place.

That shouldn't have been an issue. There should have been a Secret Service presence on that other roof to prevent an assassin from being there.
There is one simple response that I do not see anyone addressing. With all the back and forth about line of sight, slope of roof, should we take him out, I have no orders, blah, blah, blah, how about this simple response? “We have a credible sighting of a possible shooter. Get the president out of there!”
To me, this seems like the proper response to all the civilian sightings. I mean what could it hurt if you pull the president out of there, and it turned out to be a false alarm? A lot better than what actually happened or what could have horribly happened.
Leave to the Post to get the facts wrong.
