The shooter followed the sniper team into the parking lot.
How would he know to do that?

Was it suspicious enough for the snipers or cops to check the inside of the shooter's car-- to see what might be in the interior of the car--during the 1 and 1/2 hours when they were keeping an eye on the kid...

The Times published screenshots from a group chat between members of a counter-sniper team at the rally. When one of the officers texted that his shift was ending, around 4:26 p.m., he warned that a man—later confirmed to be Crooks—had parked near them and knew the sniper team was there.

Crooks had moved by 5:10 p.m., however. The Times reported he’d then positioned himself below a local sniper team who who were upstairs in a warehouse owned by AGR International—the very building Crooks eventually perched himself atop of and fired at Trump from.

While Crooks waited there, an officer texted pictures of him
