My impression was that the agents in the video never had him in their sights because a tree blocked their line of sight. I saw no indication that they ever fired from that location. No one has identified the agent who actually stopped the assailant. Everyone assumes.

How ANYONE was allowed to go on one of a handful of rooftops that are close to that venue is beyond explanation---a total security failure.

According to an expert who performed an acoustic analysis, there were, I think, eight shots fired from THREE different rifles. Three came from the shooter on the roof. It seems the man on the roof closest to Trump only fired one shot ... That leaves four shots being fired by some other sniper(s), right?

So, yes, we don't know who actually killed that person on the roof.

I'm not so sure the agents in the video fired at all. I see no smoke or recoil. They were obscured and not seeing the assailant they had nothing to shoot.

I think they had comms directing them to the roof but could not see that section. They looked dismayed. If they had him in view they would not have taken eyes off the scope.

Watch the video of the agents with that thought in mind.

See here. The agents on the roof had no line of sight. It was blocked by trees. That blocked view was a huge security lapse.

Give me a break.

Not buying this nonsense.

A tree? Have you ever been outdoors?

Did you look at the photo?

There is a tree between the Agents and the assailant's location. Much of the roof was obscured from that angle.

But how did they shoot him then?

There were many agents at other locations, covering other areas who probably shifted toward the shooter after he began shooting.
