A local police counter-sniper team was stationed inside the building where attempted assassin Thomas Crooks climbed on the roof and fired on Donald Trump, law enforcement sources told The Post.
The building — the AGR International Inc. factory in Butler, Pennsylvania — was being used by local police as a “watch post” for snipers to scan for threats as the former president spoke onstage only 130 yards away, according to sources.
Cops were inside, but not on the roof during the shooting, sources said.
Crooks was able to scale the building unchallenged before firing off eight shots with an AR-style assault rifle, grazing Trump in the ear, killing one Trump supporter and wounding two others.
The revelation comes as local outlet WPXI reported the Crooks was spotted on the building 26 minutes before he opened fire — with one cop from the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit even taking a photo of the gunman before the shooting.
Law enforcement sources said it was not clear as of Monday night whether any of the local officers — who were tasked with securing the perimeter outside the Butler County Farm Show grounds — were able to warn Secret Service agents about the gunman.
Heads must roll. Individuals must be fired. Righteous accountability is required. And Democrat party leaders who foment wild conspiracies to wind up the general population to kill Donald J Trump must answer for their immense hatred against the very political process which also placed them in office.

They had ample time to even slowly WALK over to the Secret Service at the rally and notify them. Or CRAWL into the building and notify them.
How could this have ever happened. It seems a one in a billion chance for this to have even occurred.
