Members of House Homeland Security Committee go on roof at shooting site
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., led a bipartisan group of members of the committee on a visit to the shooting site in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Monday.
"To actually go see the site where a crime happens is so valuable," committee member Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, told reporters after their tour.
McCaul said they went to the rooftop where the gunman was to see what view he had of Trump.
"It’s way too close," he said.

After Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle told ABC News that agents were not put on the roof because of its sloped nature, committee member Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., said after his tour, "There’s nothing unsafe about that roof."
Cheatle told the House Oversight Committee on Monday, "There was a plan in place to provide overwatch, and we are still looking into responsibilities and who was going to provide overwatch, but the Secret Service in general, not speaking specifically to this incident when we are providing overwatch, whether that be through counter snipers or other technology, prefer to have sterile rooftops."
Several members of the committee called for Cheatle’s resignation.
