Because for a good 10 minutes there were TV cameras and no police. Once the Police arrive, you don’t hang around the windows.
That’s not what we were discussing. We were discussing how a bullet would be deflected by glass.
Ummm no mate. You said this:
If the TV cameras were capturing it, obviously a sharpshooter could get a shot too.
I was trying to explain to you that that, absent a TARDIS, the fact a cameraman could see a shooter at 9:55 does not mean that a sniper could see the shooter at 10:05. That’s why the sun matters. Because it tells you what time of day the photo was taken.
Here’s the official comment:
“Both said it appeared the gunman had shown himself early in the day, before snipers would have been in position and also before police were in possession of vital information, such as how many gunmen were in the café.”
As I’ve already told you, the café is LITERALLY opposite a TV studio. The cameras were there far earlier than the police. Once the police got there, he hid at the back of the shop which, thanks to the slope of the ground and the tall buildings, cannot be seen from outside.
