I’m sure that the counter snipers from the secret service could have known for sure that this dude had a weapon / was about to shoot. It can be difficult to ID these things through optics because everything gets flattened out.
However I am sure that dude shouldn’t have ground hogged and looked around before reacquiring his sight picture and shooting.
But all of that is also a stupid debate. Why the heck was Trump still on the stage? Why didn’t they pull him when dude was first spotted?
