Total incompetence or a crafted plan. How can such a vantage point directly facing the podium be left unsecured??.

[VeeFTeeS]

Secret services failed big or ordered to fail? 🤔

[martymcfly]

What an amazing eyewitness. This woman has an incredible ability to notice all the details under & high intense situation.

[derektrips]

Only one person on stage had an automatic weapon after the shooting! This is absurd! There should have been an entire line of security personnel up there! Instead, they had a 5'2" woman standing in front of him for protection—what a joke!

[pennygiller]

And all the secret service women seem too short to surround him Trump is so tall...they really need to rethink their security planning..a good critique is needed...just awful what happened...

[WildManKH]

And eye witness says the attacket was on the roof for Serveral minutes before opening fire. And that they alerted the police to his whereabout. How can he have stayed up there so long unchanged.??

[amnarizwan]

So secret service didn't check the roof?No drones, no helicopter?

[RoaringRanger]

Like the lady said' "We need to come together as the human race". With these news organization pushing hate for ad money is a major part of the problem. Spreading hate for money.

Watch news from other countries to hear more about what happened here

[atlantarhythmsection]

Traci asking a NBC reporter how she feels when covering a Trump rally is a classic moment.

[LoneStar]

Secret service needs to be retrained that was rookie mistakes by Secret Service

[Marcus-pis]

Secret Service set up. NO WAY they left that roof top unguarded and unobserved. Plus police were told of the shooter before the shooting.

[AlmaWaymire]

Thank you for honest and real broadcasting. Rare thing. Other outlets call it an interruption, an incident. Bless you for true reporting.

[elwinvanzile]

NBC had the best coverage. Condolences to the families of the deceased.

[SwimmerSullivan-yy]

My brother was handicapped and bullied everyday in school. I lived with him and witnessed what it did to him. He had a heart condition on top of looking different. He was a straight A student. It changed my life, and I know that people can be real vicious. Kids are not born vicious, they are taught through their home life sometimes, parents, their environment, and teachers that do nothing about it. Our schools need to change - I went back to college for a second time for literature. I am writing a novel about how kids should treat each other, and their environment. I hope I can make a difference - even if it is a small difference!

[franciscamiranda]

Exactly, how this is happening in this country??

[Bluenariangirl]

"YOU HAD ONE JOB" - to clear the perimeter and ensure the President and participants were safe during this rally. Absolutely heartbreaking. ❤🇺🇸🙏

[Nargamorodo]

Is it normal in the USA to talk about a former president or a candidate as "the president" or is it just the way Trump supporters think in a shocked or general state?

[jameycollins]

Great reporting NBC! CNN should be ashamed of their horrible news on this! The reporter is great!

[HilarityBribo]

The audio within the Secret service during the event needs to be made public.
Very suspicious what took place, and I'd like to know from the SS members if someone gave the stand down order? ..n
