Police and Secret Service agents ignored repeated warnings about a gunman, minutes before he attempted to assassinate former president Donald Trump, an eyewitness has claimed.
The man, a local Trump supporter, made the claims in an interview with BBC News.
The man was just outside the event with a group when they saw the would-be assassin crawling along a nearby roof armed with a rifle.
“We noticed a guy bear-crawling up the roof of the building beside us, 50 feet away from us. So we’re standing there, we’re pointing at the guy crawling up the roof… he had a rifle. We could clearly see him with a rifle, absolutely. And we’re pointing at him. The police are down there running around on the ground, and we’re like, ‘Hey, man, there’s a guy on the roof with a rifle!’ And the police were like, ‘Huh? What?’
