Beaver County officials told Fox News that the Secret Service told a local sniper team to set up on ground level looking into the Butler, Pennsylvania crowd as opposed to on top of the warehouse roof where Thomas Crooks would take 8 shots at President Trump and rallygoers.
The local Beaver County officials also told Fox News that had the Secret Service told them to post up on the roof they would have.
There was no issue with the ‘sloped roof’ – they were simply told to stay on the ground level.
The Beaver County officials also rebuffed Acting Service Director Ronald Rowe and said the two local snipers were looking out a window on the ground level. It is a different warehouse window than the one Rowe point to during his testimony to a Senate panel on Tuesday.
First rule of war, TAKE THE HIGH GROUND !!!!!
