President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt.
According to the witness, shortly after Trump began speaking at the rally, he and others noticed a man armed with a rifle climbing onto a nearby roof.
The witness informed BBC News that they tried to warn authorities about the armed individual, stating that they could "clearly see him with a rifle" despite the distance. The gunman was described as wearing tan-type clothing.
Despite their efforts to alert both police and the Secret Service about the potential threat, the witness continued to observe the shooter crawling on the roof.
The Secret Service agents present on a nearby barn were unable to spot the gunman due to the sloped roof obscuring his body.

Trump was shot in the ear.
After the initial shots were fired, the witness witnessed the response of the Secret Service, prompting questions about why Trump was not evacuated from the stage earlier, and why security measures did not cover all nearby rooftops.
