Just in case anyone else is wondering: allegedly a police officer confronted the shooter before the shots and when the shooter pointed the gun at him he retreated down the ladder instead of firing at the shooter.
Yeah, and that wouldn’t have helped the situation. Maybe the snipers would have taken him out after shooting the cop, instead of taking him out after shooting at Trump?
The real big issue is about how apparently someone reported the guy like 30 minutes prior to the actual shooting, and apparently nobody cared.
2-3 minutes on the roof with a gun. He was spotted with a backpack long before that, and he was also spotted using a rangefinder from the ground long before that.
That’s part of the reason the cop was looking for him in the first place. That’s also why there is a cellphone picture of him on the ground taken before he climbed to the roof, which was taken by an officer that saw him using the rangefinder.
Is this a Hip Hop Hood reference?
Edit: It just occurred to me that we are living in a stupid 90s comedy.

Cop was like “oh he gonna shoot trump. Carry on.”
Honestly, non-zero chance he was the one good cop lol
I don’t blame the cop there. He has a gun already on him. Trying to pull his gun would have simply gotten him killed.

Who is saying 30 minutes? I’ve only seen reports saying two or three minutes, I wouldn’t doubt that though.
EDIT: new info has come out, it’s pretty absurd

This a “first trump assassination attempt of 2024” reference
Don’t get my hopes up like that
Thanks for noticing :D
