Well, the second floor windows open wide!
What this video taken shortly after the shooting. Crooks' body still on the roof. Both the gable end window and 2nd last window (from right) on the front of the building are open.

Trump shooting: Gunman identified as video shows body and rifle on roof
Footage shows the body of the attacker, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, on the roof of a nearby building.
Yeah, how fast the bullets were fired after the initial three didn’t strike me as anything unusually fast at all AND I can’t understand how he could come to any kind of conclusion that those shots were in any way unusually accurate either if they were fired by an amateur (aka. Crooks), when we, as far as I can see, don’t even really know where all, or even any, of those shots have landed in the first place! So what he says sounds rather strange to me.
Here's a still from the above video. Note how the tree does indeed obscure Crooks' position from the first pair of CSU snipers positioned behind Trump.
Cheatle quietly flailing here in front of Congress. It really does look like she's being hung out to dry

Great to see this member of Congress going straight for the meat of the issue with Cheatle. She repeatedly asks her how many shell casings were on the roof Crooks was on. She gets out of her that she knows how many, but refuses to answer and defers to the FBI.
In the absence of eyewitness statements about Crooks climbing onto the roof, and given the 'confusion' regarding ladders he used/didn't use, it's possible that he accessed that roof by being let into the building by the 'SS agents', then walked out the open end window and across, as shown here:
Circled red is the low concrete wall the 'SS agents' photographed him sitting on about an hour before 'show-time'. Maybe there's an entrance to the building on that far side where someone just had to pop downstairs let him in?

Fascinating, if true, that Rep. Pat Fallon replicated the shooting with his AR-15, firing 8 rounds from ~130 yards, and 7 out of 8 of his bullets hit the target's head.
And that's assuming Crooks is a better marksman than him, and that only he fired all 8 rounds. For Crooks AND a pro to miss Trump so badly suggests the level of 'divine intervention' was 'dialed up' high!

Another reason he shot so fast was the urgency of his situation: he just pointed his rifle at a security/policeman and it was a very limited time for him to act if he was to succeed - having been discovered. So he was in a race against time.
That brings up another point. He didn't care about getting caught/killed. Like being on a suicide mission. Did he have an escape plan? Getaway vehicle? If he was discovered, why go through with it? Maybe Audrey Hale was his inspiration.
I saw a video presented by a behavioral therapist, and it showed a bicycle with saddlebags for some reason - no comment on why it was pictured, it was just shown in succession with other incident related scenes...
Another thing... It's probably been mentioned, but his parents were behavioral therapists... The mass media are calling them social workers - maybe to taint the facts like they did when they said 'Trump fell at rally'.
