A person claiming to be Jonathan Willis, who says he is a police officer in the now-famous photo of police snipers at Trump Rally, says he had the Trump shooter in his sights for 3 minutes but Secret Service REFUSED permission to take him out.
In a posting on a social media service, a user writes the following:
"My name is Jonathan Willis, I'm the officer in the famous photo of the two snipers on the roof at Trump's rally. I came here to inform the public that I had the assassin in my sights for at least 3 minutes, but the head of the Secret Service refused to give the order to take out the perp. 100% the top brass prevented me from killing the assassin before he took the shots at President Trump."
Here is a screen shot of the actual social media posting making the claim above:
Requests for comment from the United States Secret Service have gone unanswered at the time of publication of this story.
