    The fact he even got shots off while laying on literally one of the only spots a sniper could get a shot off is absolutely bad enough. They should have had minimum one sniper looking at that roof constantly. That’s like step one.

      i believe they did, though it’s worth noting, you’re constantly scanning rooftops as a sniper, so there’s always going to be a small amount of time before targeting and shooting.

      I’ve heard, havent verified but apparently local police were working the grounds and apparently maybe that roof? So it might have been their responsibility entirely. I’m guessing the kid only peaked the roof shortly before shooting though, that’s the only way he would’ve gotten a shot off.
