    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.

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

        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.

        “There’s a shooter in the stadium, get Trump off the stage” is really fucking easy.

            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.

      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.

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