According to a witness who attended the Trump rally in Butler, PA, a man with a rifle was spotted on a nearby rooftop minutes before shots were fired at Trump.
The witness, named Greg Smith, told BBC he was a man crawl on top of a nearby building, outside the event space, and informed police.
Smith said: “I’m thinking to myself ‘Why is Trump still speaking, why have they not pulled him off the stage’… the next thing you know, five shots ring out.”
This information has not been confirmed at this time.
Trump was seen with some blood on him after being shot through the ear. He proceeded to raise his fist as Secret Service Agents swarmed around him. He was evacuated safely to a nearby medical facility.
Officials confirmed the shooter was killed, and that one crowd member was killed and two others injured.
Smith also told the BBC that he saw Secret Service agents shoot back at the man on the roof.
Smith, who was standing outside the rally grounds, said: “We noticed the guy bear-crawling up the roof of the building beside us, 50ft away,” he said. “He had a rifle, we could clearly see a rifle.”
“We’re pointing at him, the police are down there running around on the ground, we’re like ‘Hey man, there’s a guy on the roof with a rifle’… and the police did not know what was going on.”
Describing how agents killed the gunman, Smith said: “They crawled up on the roof, they had their guns pointed at him, made sure he was dead. He was dead, and that was it – it was over.”

All legal registered guns must be confiscated from law abiding middle class white males. Only criminal thugs and migrants should be allowed to carry illegal unregistered guns.
Did they have to shoot to kill? I seem to remember Elor Azaria, an israeli soldier, was found guilty of manslaughter for shooting dead 21-year-old Abdul Fatah al-Sharif in Chevron. The world was sooooo pro the terrorist then. They stated if the perpetrator was downed, why shoot an extra shot! I guess the story is different when it’s someone who deserves it, so long it’s not Israeli against terrorist.
