Trump shooting witness describes why Pres survived bullets as new footage emerges

DRAMATIC footage has captured the moment Donald Trump made a "life-saving move" at the last second - right before he was shot.

There are numerous witnesses that saw the shooter on the roof with a rifle! Why were they ignored? Why would the roof, 150 yards away from the stage be unsecured? I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but this is either incompetence or intentional. 😢

NO SECRET SERVICE DRONES? I am a retired federal agent. Every other agency in the country uses drones for crowd surveillance at special events, but the Secret Service doesn't have any? How is that even possible? Did I miss something here?

How can he say nothing could have been done when there were people telling security that there was a man with a gun on the roof?

Secret Service needs to be investigated, and NOT by the FBI

[findaxelfoley]

Condolences to the man that died and his family. People seem to forget that a person lost their life. That should not be a footnote in this story

[shawnstillman]

Rest In Peace to Corey Comperatore, Former Fire Chief, the man that was shot & died at the rally protecting his family, when they clipped Trump's ear. My condolences to his wife Helen, and his daughters Allyson & Kaylee, and father Raymond. There was also another who was injured and is in the hospital.

No matter what your beliefs, or who you support, this is disgusting.

A local resident gave an interview that Trump had a rally at Butler airport 4 years ago and securities were on every rooftop at that event. He didn't see the same measure at this rally and could tell the differences.

I saw an interview with a guy who was there and told the police that there was someone on the roof with a rifle. He was pointing at the roof for a long time to try and get the attention of the secret service.

[hans-joachimtenhoope]

There are people who claim they saw him and tried to warn the police minutes before, but they were ignored.

[jamescollinson]

The Trump campaign staff asked for additional protection at the rally, but the Secret Service refused to provide it. Then the Secret Service missed spotting the shooter in plain view on the roof of a nearby building and ignored those who tried to call attention to him. Something really stinks here.

[INSDG]

Are you joking? The FBI isn't going to do $hit!

[ranney]

The secret service failed and they should be investigated

[lionsdejudah]

The secret service “SHELL” wasn’t necessary if they had only listened to the spectator that was warning the secret service of a man on a roof with a rifle mins before the shooting.

[jonassterup]

Come on, you cannot by pass the fact that the roofs were left without protection. Is this a realistic mistake?

[idahardy]

The crowd was unarmed and vulnerable. I’m so sad for the family of the man who was killed. The Secret Service failed.

[normanbirk]

A 20 year old kid outsmarted the Secrete Service. If I were Trump, I would get my own security.

[DudeGuyWho]

7:55 "Very good protective advance"? What are you smoking to think that when a rooftop oversight so close wasn't covered?

[CPT_Crandalf]

Secret Service just showed their butts. He will have personal security past this point, I bet on it. After that scenario, I would never trust the Secret Service ever again. How can you miss covering any and all elevated positions within a 600m radius around the podium??

[vickymendoza]

I just contacted every one of my Representatives we need a full investigation of what happened in people need to be held accountable this is unacceptable in the USA
