A local police counter-sniper team was stationed inside the building where attempted assassin Thomas Crooks climbed on the roof and fired on Donald Trump, law enforcement sources told The Post.
The building — the AGR International Inc. factory in Butler, Pennsylvania — was being used by local police as a “watch post” for snipers to scan for threats as the former president spoke onstage
only 130 yards away, according to sources.
Incredible.
Stunning new details from @CBSNews on how secret service snipers noticed the shooter before the Trump rally in Butler, PA on Saturday.
There were three snipers stationed INSIDE the building the shooter was on, according to a local law enforcement officer with direct knowledge.
One of the snipers inside saw Crooks outside looking up at the roof observing the building and then disappeared, according to local law enforcement.
