So if they could not get in how could the shooter?

He did not do this alone.

The other reason the local countersnipers held their fire could be concern over a friendly-fire incident.
Sure they needed to ID the weapon before wasting some rando MAGA goofball, but if they were completely unsure if the target was another LEO or SS member...it would explain the gun. Thus, the need for him to shoot first.
It seems like the rooftop itself is the building used by another set of snipers, who remained inside and were not deployed. It's easy to see where the growing level of confusion could come from....
A Beaver County police officer stationed inside the building used by the gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump saw the would-be assassin with a rangefinder, scoping out the rooftop, and had warned command center about him, according to a report.
The Beaver Countian reported Monday evening that the police officer, who was serving as one of three counter-snipers stationed inside the building as a member of the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit, saw the man return with a backpack before he scaled the building.
The outlet reported that a security operations plan had placed each of the three counter-snipers inside of the building looking out of windows towards the rally, with none stationed on the roof.

They also could have placed them inside the two story building behind the front building.
