On Saturday, during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, a shooter struck President Trump in the ear in a failed assassination attempt that resulted in the death of one attendee and the shooter himself, with two other attendees critically wounded.
Law enforcement sources disclosed that the assailant was positioned on a building rooftop adjacent to the rally venue.
New photos have surfaced that appear to show the deceased shooter on a rooftop adjacent to the president’s podium. The shooter was reportedly positioned to the right side of Trump and fired 8-10 bullets toward the rally.

However, as usual, things are not adding up, as video footage and photos from the rally clearly show two Secret Service counter sniper agents standing watch on the rooftop directly adjacent to where the shooter fired from.
The live video feed, broadcast by RSBN, shows Trump being introduced at the rally at 6:04 PM EST. Two agents can be clearly seen standing on the rooftop behind him on the same side he was shot. Furthermore, their rooftop was at a higher elevation than the shooter’s… and yet they still somehow missed this.
This looks really bad.

This looks like the counter sniper team had eyes on the shooter, let him fire first, then returned fire.

The body language and positioning of that counter sniper team shows THEY WERE LOOKING RIGHT AT HIM SPECIFICALLY.

People are asking HOW COULD THEY MISS THAT GUY ON THE ROOF?
The answer is THEY DIDN’T. They were WATCHING HIM ON SCOPE.
They only fired AFTER he fired.

Elon has said the resignation of the Secret Service head—I agree.
Blind spots are everywhere at this location.
The former president and leading presidential candidate needs a more robust protection system.

The Secret Service rooftop is slightly more elevated than the shooter’s rooftop. They should have at least been able to see something. pic.twitter.com/lTlBRzLYbo

Breaking Digest previously reported that prior to the shooting, concerned rally goers altered Secret Service agents and law enforcement to a suspicious man crawling on the rooftop with a rifle and, but they were ignored.
