CBS also reports that secret service agents “engaged” the suspect.
One witness, Greg, told reporters he was outside the rally and could only hear the former president talking, when he noticed a man on top of a roof.
“We noticed the guy crawling up the roof of the building beside us, 50 feet away from us,” Greg said. “He had a rifle, we could clearly see him with a rifle.”
Greg said they pointed the man out to police.
“Next thing you know, I’m thinking to myself why is Trump still speaking? Why have they not pulled him off the stage?” he said. “I’m standing there pointing at him… the next thing you know, five shots ring out.”
