 The source also suggested a guy with a weapons case was reported to local police. But it's not clear whether that is Crooks and who had reported it. The source also alleged the Secret Service sniper who killed Crooks could not take the shot immediately at Crooks because he knew the local sniper team was supposed to be on the roof and that he had to deconflict. A complete bleep show and failure, the source wrote in a text. And I'm going to have to agree. And I'm, you know, doing my level best not to be really pissed about it.
