Those officers were assigned ‘to manage traffic’ at the Butler Farm Show, an outdoor venue..... But they leapt into action when they heard a radio call about a suspicious person on the roof of a nearby building, Knights said. The officers converged on the building, owned by a glass research company, but couldn’t see anybody above, because they were too close.
“So two of the officers went to what appeared to be the lowest point from ground to roof,” Knights said. “One of the officers actually boosted the second officer up high enough for him to grab hold of the roof.”
“When he was able to pull his head up over the roof, he did in fact see an individual on the roof with a weapon,” Knights said.
The gunman pointed his rifle at the officer, who was hanging on the edge of the roof. The officer ducked his head, lost his grip and fell about 8 feet to the ground, Knights said.
The two officers — the one who fell and the one who boosted him up — both got on their radios to report that there was a person on the roof with a weapon.

First communications confirmation I have seen.
Now we need to know who received that communication and what they did with it.
Obviously the SS on stage should be notified immediately and told to move President Trump off the stage.
That should have taken five seconds—maximum.
They should have reported it BEFORE attempting their “Up you go”....
