I am wondering if the SS had to make sure that the shooter, before he shot, was not some other LE component, which is why they did not shoot him faster... IMO
Quoting my own post in case someone else is interested in the location/layout. USA Today has some of the info.

“Very shocking … a lot of people just thought it was fireworks going off, I knew immediately it was gunfire,” Meyn said.
Meyn, a surgeon from Grove City, Pennsylvania, told CNN he helped carry the man out of the bleachers.
“I was at the far right of the podium, where the people sit in the front. I was filming him (Trump) speaking on my phone. Just as I was panning back, I heard seven gunshots in rapid successions, in under two or three seconds,” Meyn said.
Meyn said he looked back in the direction the gunshots had come from. “I saw a man in the bleachers was hit directly in the head and died instantly. … There was a woman who was hit in the hand and forearm, a noncritical wound.”
He said he went over to see if he could render any aid, but another doctor was already helping the woman who’d been shot.
“I helped carry the body of the man out of the stands. They took the body to the tent behind the bleachers,” Meyn added.
CNN reached Meyn as he was waiting to give a witness statement to the FBI. “They want the data off my phone,” he said. “This is the first Trump rally I’ve been to. … You don’t anticipate this stuff to go on, it’s pure insanity.”
Is there a circle around where the suspect was?
You're right, the photo is out there on X now.I thought they were pants too, but I actually think they’re shorts.
OMG, it's going to be even worse if he's young. I don't know why, but that seems all the more painful.There's a clearer photo of the gunman's body here. Witnesses said he was wearing camouflage pants, but they look like shorts to me. I thought he had dressed himself to blend in with LE, but that no longer appears to be the case. There are other photos elsewhere that are far more graphic, but I won't post them here. He's gotta be in his mid 20s at most.
