Perimeter where the stage and the rally was. This building is outside of that fence. Its definitely higher than the fence. You can see that the fence doesnt go that high there is a red building i dont im not sure if you can see it on our camera here. Theres a Read Building to the right of the stage that is where the snipers i had saw that myself on the ground when i was inside the rally the snipers were on top of the building and thats where they were able to immediately respond to the shooter in real time. But you can see, i mean, its very dark now and obviously it wasnt earlier today you can see here though just how close this building is to the actual Rally Venue and the stage itself where Donald Trump with speaking earlier very briefly before the round of shots fired wealth, Alayna Treene on the scene for us, alayna, thank you very much.
