This isn’t the first time the Secret Service have stood down during an active assassination attempt on a U.S. President. On 22 November, 1963, the secret service ignored multiple witnesses who alerted them to a guy with a rifle pointed at JFK’s motorcade:
Infowars.com reports: An eyewitness shockingly told BBC News he saw the shooter carrying a long rifle and climbing onto the top of a building about four hundred yards away from Trump’s stage.
“We noticed the guy bear-crawling up the roof of the building beside us. We’re pointing at the guy crawling up the roof. He had a rifle. The police are down there running around on the ground and we’re like, ‘Hey, there’s a guy on the roof with a rifle.’”
The witness said he tried to get the attention of nearby police officers and started wondering, “Why is Trump still speaking? Why haven’t they pulled him off stage.”
According to the man, the shooter was on the roof for “three to four minutes” before firing five shots.
The guy asked why there wasn’t Secret Service protection “on all of the roofs” near the speaking stage.
Someone shouted, “He’s got a gun!” in another video just before shots rang out.

A graphic shared by military veteran Matt Bracken shows the angle and distance between Trump and the shooter.
“How was a sniper with a full rifle kit allowed to bear crawl onto the closest roof to a presidential nominee?” asked Human Events Senior Editor Jack Posobiec.
Journalist James O’Keefe wrote that he spoke with a Secret Service insider who confirmed teams are supposed to “cover ALL vantage points — rooftops most obvious.”
Podcast host Patrick Bet-David questioned whether there’s “a potential leak in Secret Service.”
Musk called on people to be fired over the shooting.
Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino claimed the director of U.S. Secret Service has “repeatedly turned down requests for a larger security footprint around President Trump.”
Others criticized the security failure as well:
