The FBI will find out those answers for you as soon as they get to the bottom of the shooting in Vegas. Please be patient. /s
Actually Ellen handled that one with the style of hard hitting journalism she is known for.
And then promptly hide it.
Re: optics/scope
Some very rare individuals (Annie Oakley?) can shoot that distance without a scope, but there was also quite a breeze blowing, which only the very best can gauge/learn to overcome via test-shots, especially if shooting 'instinctively'.
So I believe the shooter WAS using a well-calibrated-for-that-distance scope, and was trained to check the flag for gusts. Missing like that, is not really missing by much, in terms of a paper target. One would still be on the paper, if you know what I mean.
I am more interested in the communications hub. Who was in charge of integrating all the services that were there? There should have been a message that the snipers, who set up only minutes before, already had a target in their sights. I dunno, the sniper's spotter could have said something at least. The SS and others reacted pretty quickly in the seconds after, however, it's the critical minutes and seconds before the shot that has us asking questions.
This always happens in real Safety meetings. One understands how sharp-shooting works, for example, and a proper check would have suggested stringing that flag somewhere else. But inb4: some say that such a flag is always done at rallies. REALLY??
It was only 150 yards. It's not a great feat to hit targets at that range without magnified optics.
These are good questions.
We The People want answers... and we want them NOW!
A bigger question would be: Who will be in charge of investigating this, and who will investigate the investigators? Because ... the investigators are gonna just blame the guy they shot and killed and cover up their personal role in it.
How did he get on the roof?
Who owns the building?
Cameras on or in the building?
If so wheres the footage?
Ladder. My question is that SS security team did meet and greet and walk about with business owners prior to event. Owner of building cordoned off his parking lot. So was ladder just laid up against the building?
If it was a ladder I doubt he brought it with him prolly a fixed ladder for roof access
AR-15 .223 Had a scope First LEO allegedly climbed back down the ladder after shooter pointed his rifle at him
Washington Post reporting 2 sniper units were Secret Service. 2 were local law enforcement. USSS would still be in charge and be responsible.

The picture of the guy on the roof appeared to show iron sites, no scope
As for the police officer coming down the ladder.
I'm trying to think of scenarios where this would be correct. Perhaps better to get safe and alert other law enforcement that he saw a shooter with a gun on the roof?
I wonder what standard procedure would say about this.
He was trained in officer safety
