Looks like they were watching him the whole time and waited for him to fire...

I’m no security expert but the fact they did not have someone on this rooftop is insane to me. It’s one of the closest rooftops with LoS!?

The only thing I could think of is that they hesitated because they were not sure if it was a friendly, but, the kid doesn’t look like one of them at all?

Looks like he had on cargo shorts and a tee shirt. It's literally the only other roof top those counter snipers could see. I'm not buying that they didn't see him until he shot.

To me it shows exactly the opposite. The sniper suddenly sees him as he's taking the shot.

I am 100% sure that he couldn't get on to that roof and in position without help/advice, but it's impossible that the snipers where involved and even less that there was radio traffic "not authorizing to engage" a rando with a rifle. It's absolute nonsense.
