According to various reports, Trump’s The security team was understaffed. The roof could not be secured because of its steep slope and the obvious danger it posed to a gunman. Created a safety hazard.
Video and photographs show the perpetrator was spotted. Approximately 30 minutes Before the attack, several bystanders Presence on the roofStill, the Secret Service couldn’t stop him.

The gunman attracted the attention of the Secret Service three hours before shooting Trump.
Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was spotted trying to go through a metal detector at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, while carrying a rangefinder.
device, CNN states: The device caught the attention of authorities because it is used by hunters and shooters to measure distances when preparing for long-range shots.
The following passage from the report is truly astonishing: The Secret Service monitored Crooks because of his suspicious behavior and the presence of a device used to aim Hunter’s shots, then let him go.
“Investigators are uncertain as to where Crooks went after leaving the testing area, but their current theory is that he went to his vehicle to retrieve his rifle,” they wrote.
I think so?
We were lucky that things didn’t get much worse, but again, did His life was lost due to Secret Service incompetence.

The girl was put under surveillance again 40 minutes before the shooting.
The Secret Service was in for a surprising stroke of luck when they lost sight of the would-be assassin and discovered that he was carrying a rangefinder.
“Crooks was back on Secret Service radar about 40 minutes before the shooting.” The Daily Mail writes:.
“Photos showing the 20-year-old gunman crawling on the ground searching the scene were submitted to police as a suspicious sighting at 5.30pm.”
Well, three hours before the shooting there was a man with a rangefinder, and then the same man was seen crawling on the ground, and that photo was circulated to the Secret Service 40 minutes before.
I don’t think there’s any need to worry just yet. Fortunately, another There was no chance to stop him: investigators allegedly spotted him on the roof.
“Witnesses saw Crooks climbing onto the roof of the American Glass Research building,” the Mail continues. “A Secret Service counter-sniper team, codenamed ‘Hawkeye,’ also saw Crooks pointing a rangefinder at their position.”
Three hours. Multiple sightings. Multiple suspicious behavior. And yet no one from the Secret Service tried to stop him? Strange.
