FROM BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA

A WITNESS TO the shooting of Donald Trump says he saw the assassin climbing on to the roof and pointed it out to security who were very slow to react to the information.

“Hell, he had enough time to eat a Big Mac up there before he fired,” said Brutus Casca III a schoolteacher from Texas. “I know a bit about firearms and can’t explain why they only shot him after he had opened up on President Trump.”

There others too who pointed out the killer to security personnel and found themselves watching while the man had time to fire multiple shots at Mr Trump.

“You feel maybe life might have been preserved if people had moved quicker,” Mrs Bonnie Presyurestove from North Dakota commented. “We saw him crawling into position – and we warned the right people – but they were so slow to respond. I don’t like to criticize but that is troubling. I wish I had my .44 Smith & Wesson, I coulda taken him.”
