New details on what happened minutes before Trump assassination attempt

CBS correspondent Meg Oliver is tracking critical half-hour before former President Donald Trump was wounded during a 2024 campaign rally.

They let Trump go on stage knowing this, abhorrent.

[lang]

A local tactical sniper spotted him 20 minutes earlier and let him there?

[heididelosreyes]

People screaming there’s a guy on the roof with a rifle and yet they say he was not armed?

[le_dude]

2nd floor building guard takes a picture of him from a window and let him climb.
"maybe he was hunting for deers"

[dcutuut]

Just for reference, 1 minute is a very long time. Mute your electronics and watch a 1 minute countdown on a clock to see how long that really is.

[tchevrier]

wait!!!! A tactical sniper was behind the shooter.? And watched him climb onto the roof. ? With a gun.? And take aim at Trump?

[MAXIMUMintheHORMONE]

How do you tell me he was allowed onto the roof, without telling me?

[evandh]

Tactical sniper had eyes on him on the roof, and yet he was able to get shots off?? Nothing about this makes any sense.

[LC-zkri]

they need to be arrested for gross negligence if not attempted murder

[dhzinck]

Anybody remember when they said he used a ladder to get on the roof and that he bought it that day and they had the receipts? Then they started saying he road a bike or walked a mile from his car and everyone asked how he did this with a ladder. Now they are saying he didn't use a ladder, even though they showed videos and images of a ladder on the side of the building.

[kdh]

The failure of the secret service and local law enforcement caused a man to loose his life, unacceptable.

[kkcheah]

This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have.

[SkyrisUK]

Patsy is on the roof, Tsshhhh I Repeat Patsy is On the Roof over .

[CSJiGSaW]

The ladder on receipt was 5 foot ladder and that’s what news posted, but the actual ladder used was 10 foot ladder with more steps. Those buildings are high. Someone is lying.

[InsaneGeraldo]

You're telling me he climbed up an air-conditioner right under a window with a sniper in it and he didn't use the ladder on the other side of the building shown in helicopter footage as reported before? This is making less and less sense.

[leighlambert]

If they got such a good picture of him on the roof like is in this video, why was nothing done to remove him right then instead of WATCHING him carry his plan out???

[geoffreyrudd]

This does not make any sense. Sniper would have been only metres away and watched it all unfold?

[darrylleigh]

And the Secret service left him on the "X" ???

[mecanc]

And also for the rest of us in the crowd that were at risk. Ridiculous.

[tammygross]

Nope. That is not where the guy was on the roof. If you can't get that simple placement right, what else do you get wrong?
