Someone reported the shooter 3 minutes before the first shots were fired.
“Follow up on suspicious reports” doesn’t sound like it’s a very hard part of the job.
I think ginger Wayne Static even said that from the angle of the roof the shooter was on, secret service couldn’t actually see him. I guess until he exposed himself to take the shots.
Quick edit: They still should have pulled Trump from the stage. If there are multiple people yelling that there is someone with a gun on a roof, you don’t let Trump keep talking lol, like wtf.
It wasn’t clear from the Trump-visor guy that he actually reported anything, just yelled and pointed and assumed they’d pick up on it. What the security actually saw and heard is another question. Maybe if you see a suspected assassin coming for your godking, it’s important enough to actually leave your seat and talk to someone directly.

“There’s a shooter in the stadium somewhere, find them in the next 3 minutes” actually sounds like a really hard job.

Yeah, but we don’t know how often they get false reports. I think from now on the security approach will probably change.
100%
This is so good.
They pointed to the guy on the roof…
I honestly think you’re underestimating how hard this is. 3 minutes is probably not enough time to get to the roof let alone find him if he moved.
It’s not that hard to pull Trump from the stage until they had time to assess threat.
They had snipers set up on the other roofs. Turn and look when you get the radio call.
All the more reason to not be concerned when someone reports a gunman on the roof?
“There’s a shooter in the stadium, get Trump off the stage” is really fucking easy.
Yeah like you are getting tRump off a stage while he is ranting with just one report
Yes, you do. You push him off, he doesn’t get a say in it. Nevermind that he probably would want to, he doesn’t want to get shot.
Abusing that system to silence him would be super easy.

Right? They were directly told and chose to ignore it.
