So if that’s the parkinglot camera it’s highly unlikely that it captured the far left corner of the building’s roof sadly and we’re lucky the too right area of the footage happened to overlap with that bottom right corner of the roof so we could see his escape.
But if you’re referring to some other footage let me know. I know a student or visitor or someone on the ground captured some additional footage of him running across the roof to what appears to be his set up location but they didn’t keep filming so there’s no additional footage of that angle.
Oh thanks I hadn’t see that wider view before. So I stand corrected on that and my assumptions as to where the camera was angled. As for why it wasn’t released I’m guessing it simply doesn’t show much.
We’ve all seen how grainy and blurry the footage is of him hopping down off the roof when he’s at the closest point to the camera and with how small and blurry he’d be all the way on the other side of the building I’m guessing that it would be useless for any attempts at making an identification (which was the explicit stated purpose of the FBl in the footage the released).
Hopefully the full video will be released in the trial (or after) but I guess I’m not even sure what you’d hope to see in it. He did leave behind the screwdriver he used to assemble the rifle up on the roof and based on the video from the student he appeared to have been lying down so it’s hard to say what could or couldn’t be seen from that camera.

Climbing up on the roof, assembling the gun, shooting Kirk and disassembling the gun isn't 'much'? Unassailable proof of Kirk being shot from that roof isn't 'much'?
I have a hard time believing anyone could be this naive and frequent KiA2 at the same time.
Well we already have video of him on the roof so accessing it won’t add anything to this discussion. And the point still stands that the footage even at his closest point to the camera is so blurry and hard to make out that people have actually argued over whether or not he had a gun with him when he climbed down. If you move him back hundreds more feet away from the camera and have him crouched / laying down it would only verify that he was in that position (something we already know from the student video and the video from within the other building). So it wouldn’t add anything there either. It’s highly unlikely that we’d be able to see exactly what he was doing or the shot itself since again people argue over whether or not you can see the gun when he’s climbing down or if the gun is disassembled or not.
So with that footage we wouldn’t have unassailable proof of anything. Some people have proposed multiple shooters or that he was up there with a gun but didn’t actually take the shot. This would not be enough to prove or disprove either of those conspiracy theories so hence my statement it wouldn’t matter all that much.
Again given how ambiguous and blurry the closest possible footage from that camera is I don’t know what you’d possibly expect to see in the furthest possible footage.
As for frequenting KiA2, I don’t. I was browsing broader trending feeds and just happened to see this post and was curious what the comments said. I actually had to look up what KiA2 stood for.
If you’re talking about the footage in this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36GGQjHYv_E then I think if you look at this image https://static01.nyt.com/images/2025/09/12/multimedia/2025-09-10-kirk-shooting-spatial-index/2025-09-10-kirk-shooting-spatial-index-videoSixteenByNine3000.jpg you’ll see that the camera was actually set up to capture the parking lot behind the building Tyler was on. In that top down shot, location 7 is where he got set up and took the shot and location 8 all the way on the other side is where he was seen running across and jumping down.

This is the view angle the camera was capturing.

Do I need to say anything else?
