Video shows witnesses spotting suspected gunman, moments before shots were fired
A video has emerged showing Trump supporters watching the former president speak from a few hundred feet away, where they spotted a man crawling on the roof of a nearby building.
“There he is, right there,” a man is heard saying in an almost minute-long video verified by NBC News.
This video is among other witness accounts that have emerged from the rally site, showing some rallygoers had spotted the suspected shooter before he fired towards the former president.
“He’s lying down,” a woman says in the video. Another voice is heard calling “officer!”
Two people familiar with U.S. Secret Service operations told NBC News that the nearby rooftop had been identified as a potential vulnerability in the days before the event.
