The building or or the adjacent building from the same company had police inside it. There was a counter sniper team from Beaver County which is the next County over inside that building. What they did not have and it seems obvious in retrospect that they should is they did not have police around the perimeter of that building or counter snipers on the roof of that building. Us Secret Service is responsible for the overall plan. So ultimately it's on them.
They might have thought, Oh we have counter snipers here here and here, not fully realizing that they were still giving up the high point in the area. USSS and Butler County counter snipers were inside the secure area where you had to pass through the metal detectors.
The other thing that happened is that roof had a bit of a slope which means if you were on one side of the slope, you are not visible to the USSS counter snipers on the barn behind the stage. None of the counter snipers and a shot to the back of that building. There was a blind spot. That's probably why you see a counter sniper looking through his scope and then look up and look with his eyes. Then come down and shoot.
Essentially the screw-up was they did not have full command of the high points of the area and full visibility to the high points of the area.

Questions I have.
How did police first hear about a gun? Was the guy who spoke to the BBC the first witness.
How did they first hear about a gun on a roof? I'm hearing he might have been up there for 10 minutes.
What info the cop checking out have? Did he know about the gun?
What's the normal decision factors to have the secret service step in early to take Trump off the stage. What info did they have?
What was the exact viewpoint of the teams that fired on the shooter?
Great questions fren.
Thanks I'm trying pin down what can be known. Or who would have known it and at one time.
And some folks are given me flak for it
