Snipers were stationed inside the building where a gunman climbed the roof and attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump, a source familiar with the investigation tells CNN.
The source said the local sniper team hailed from the Butler County Emergency Services Unit.
The team, according to the source, was located on the second floor providing overwatch of the crowd at the rally.

One source told me there were snipers stationed at your mom's house as well.
I'm actually currently stationed on top of your mom, about to open fire.
Red team go!
