A Trump supporter has told BBC he warned Secret Service agents and police officers there was a shooter on a shed outside the rally minutes before the shooter shot President Trump.
“We can see him from right here! He’s crawling,” the witness, identified as Greg, said he told the Secret Service in an interview with the BBC.
“I’m thinking to myself, ‘Why is Trump still speaking? Why have they not pulled him off the stage?’” he added.

Per The Independent:
A witness who was just outside the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally where Donald Trump was injured Saturday night claimed he spotted a rifle-wielding man “bear crawling” onto the roof of a nearby building just before the sound of gunfire rang through the crowd.
“We can see him from right here! He’s crawling,” the witness, identified only as Greg, said he told police and Secret Service in an interview with the BBC.
“I’m thinking to myself, ‘Why is Trump still speaking? Why have they not pulled him off the stage?’” he told the BBC reporter.
The supporter, who was wearing a red Trump 2024 visor, added that he had been pointing at the man with the rifle for “two to three minutes” when all of a sudden “five shots rang out.
Trump was just minutes into his rally when around 10 popping sounds interrupted him, and the former president quickly collapsed behind his podium, as red-capped supporters behind him screamed and tried to duck.
Elon Musk responded to the interview by writing, “The head of the Secret Service and the leader of this security detail should resign.”
