I saw that, too. For the counter-sniper to be that startled, it tells me they were told nothing about a possible suspicious person wandering the grounds - never mind about people yelling that they saw somebody on the roof with a rifle.
Those two counter-snipers, and the USSS agents immediately around Trump, were all behaving like they were just at a normal level of readiness as the rally began and they allowed Trump to walk out onto the stage.
I cannot believe they knew about the threat. Somebody made the decision to keep that info off their radios.
