The witness told the BBC that after 5 to 7 minutes of Trump speaking, he saw a man with a rifle crawling up the roof of the building on the side which was apparently 50 feet away from them.
A witness has revealed that he spotted the gunman on the roof at Donald Trump's Pennsylvania rally and tried to alert the Secret Service some minutes before the shooting.

Despite his repeated attempts to point out the shooter, the Secret Service seemingly ignored his warnings, and the assassination attempt went ahead.

The witness told the BBC that after 5 to 7 minutes of Trump speaking, he saw a man with a rifle crawling up the roof of the building on the side which was apparently 50 feet away from them.

He said he along with other people started pointing to the man who was carrying a rifle and that they even pointed it out to the police who were there to guard Trump and maintain control but they were ignored and no action was taken until the shooter fired a shot.

The witness told the BBC, “We noticed the guy crawling up the roof of the building beside us, 50 feet away from us. He had a rifle; we could clearly see him with a rifle.

“Next thing you know, I’m thinking to myself why is Trump still speaking? Why have they not pulled him off the stage?

“They didn’t know what was going on. I thought to myself why is Trump still speaking and why has the security not pulled him off the stage?

“I was standing there pointing at the shooter for 2-3 minutes and the Secret Service was looking at us from the top of the barn and I kept pointing at the roof. Next thing I know, shots were fired.”

The witness told the BBC that he saw the Secret Service kill the gunman he had seen on the roof.

He said, “They blew his head off. They (Secret Service) crawled up on the roof. They had their guns pointed at him to make sure he was dead. He was dead. And that was it. It was over.”

That's a big negligence from the secret service.

We aren't supposed to talk them down since it's a saner clime and not in Nigeria

U.S isn't safe at all. It almost happened to Trump.

If u know how things are being done in "advanced saner saner clime ", you'll know that that country (The U.S) is gone

Musk, who made the call in a post on his X account, in another post said that Secret Service’s failure to detect Trump’s attacker earlier before he fired shots was either because of extreme incompetence or a deliberate act.

Billionaire businessman and Chief Executive Officer of microblogging social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), Elon Musk, on Sunday called for the resignation of the US Secret Service Director, Kimberly Cheatle, over the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

Musk, who made the call in a post on his X account, in another post said that Secret Service’s failure to detect Trump’s attacker earlier before he fired shots was either because of extreme incompetence or a deliberate act.

The owner of X also publicly endorsed Trump's 2024 presidential bid and expressed wishes for his swift recovery following the attack, stating his full support for his candidacy.

In one X post, Musk wrote, “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery.”

In another post in response to an X user who questioned how a sniper with a full rifle kit was allowed to crawl onto the closest roof close to a presidential nominee, Musk said, “Extreme incompetence or it was deliberate. Either way, the SS (Secret Service) leadership must resign.”

In another post where he reacted to a trending video of a witness who told the BBC how he and some others spotted the shooter and alerted the Secret Service but were ignored, Musk said, “The head of the Secret Service and the leader of this security detail should resign.”

SaharaReporters earlier reported that the US House Oversight Committee, a key investigative body, had summoned the Secret Service Director, Kimberly Cheatle, to testify at a hearing scheduled for July 22 on the Trump assassination attempt.

In a statement, the committee emphasised that the public needs information and clarity on this matter, stating, "Americans demand answers about the assassination attempt of President Trump.”
