Cops at the scene noticed Crooks, 20, on top of the building just 130 yards away from the rally stage and took two photos of him because he was acting suspiciously, sources told WPXI.
It's not clear if he had the AR-style rifle on him when he was first seen scaling the AGR International Inc. factory or if he stayed on the roof for the whole time.
Local police used the building as a 'staging area', leading to questions on Monday night over whether officers were inside when Crooks pulled the trigger at least eight times.
The local guys say the Secret Service was in charge, the SS is saying "That was outside our area, it's not our fault", etc. And there have been reports that one of the police snipers had the guy lined up but was refused permission to fire because 'he hadn't shot yet'...
Between the SS, the EffingBI, and the locals, we may never find out just what happened, because all of them, especially the Feds it seems, really don't want to take responsibility for anything.
And the head of the SS insists, of course, her part in everything is great and she's not going anywhere.

it wasn't crooks. crooks posted a video online hours later, saying he hates trump, but "you got the wrong guy." i noticed early on they showed the shooter was blonde and about 25. later they only show a teenage crooks photo. totally dif guy. the dead guy is the first photo, not crooks.
Investigation will come out and blame will be lack of command structure, piss poor planning and a shoulder shrug. Then the SS will take credit and tell everyone that their protectee wasn't shot thanks to their heroic efforts.
The whole thing smells like an unplugged fridge after a couple of weeks. Apparently one of the cops followed the guy up the ladder, the shooter pointed his gun at the cop who retreated. Then shot the President?
Bullshit. This smells like an inside job to me.
The competent people there were targets. None of the keystone cops had a scratch.
That's dei for you. That Cheeto broad in charge of the ss pushed for hiring incompetents. Hell, you probably saw the short broad in the videos who couldn't handle her sidearm. Looked like she was larping Men In Black.
Everything that dei wokeness touches turns to shit. I see it where I work every day. (But that's a subject for another day)

Not my job at 130 yards away. Did they say that in Dallas too.

“The local guys say the Secret Service was in charge, the SS is saying "That was outside our area, it's not our fault", etc.”
TOTAL BULLSHIT! The SS is the Big Dog in charge. They OWN the entire area of responsibility. They may assign responsibility for coverage of area X, Y and Z to State, County or local PD but make no mistake, THEY are in charge of everything with no questions asked.
Kinda sounds like Barry’s admin doesn’t it? In charge of everything but responsible for nothing.
Ed: JFK insisted on riding down a street lined with skyscrapers, in an open car, on a route announced far in advance. This was the last time the Secret Service allowed that. Like most government agencies, the Secret Service was considerably smaller then, and there was just no way to get the manpower to have someone watching every room with a view of the route.
