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

      I think ginger Wayne Static even said that from the angle of the roof the shooter was on, secret service couldn’t actually see him. I guess until he exposed himself to take the shots.

      Quick edit: They still should have pulled Trump from the stage. If there are multiple people yelling that there is someone with a gun on a roof, you don’t let Trump keep talking lol, like wtf.

        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.

            All the more reason to not be concerned when someone reports a gunman on the roof?

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