That one eyewitness said he tried to tell the cops. He also said: why didn’t secret service have a sniper on one of those roofs? As it is a small place. There is not that many elevated shooting locations and the secret service just had snipers only behind Trump.

Might depend on their protocol to not have any weapons toward the President. I only remember seeing snipers on the building of a HIGHLY secure rally I went to.
Seems like they could be on the other building and have there barrel pointed slightly away.
The snipers right behind Trumps state had guns but had the barrels pointing who knows where.
Seems like all government snipers use their scopes to look into the crowds.
