The images come after a witness at the scene, attending a party outside the rally complex, told BBC News that he saw a man with a rifle climb up onto a roof near the rally.
The man told BBC News reporter Gary O’Donoghue: “We noticed a guy crawling, bear-crawling up the roof of the building beside us, 50 feet away from us. So we’re standing there and we’re pointing at the guy crawling up the roof. And he had a gun, right? He had a rifle. A rifle! We could clearly see him with a rifle, absolutely. We’re pointing at him.”
He continued: “The police are down there running around on the ground. We’re like: ‘Hey man, there’s a guy on the roof with a rifle.’ And the police were like: ‘Huh, what?’ Like they didn’t know what was going on. You know, we’re like: ‘Hey, right here on the roof. We can see him from right here. We see him’.”
