There's more than just SS at those events. Other agencies, police etc etc are all there as well. There was likely some confusing and miscommunication among the agencies on if that guy was a friend or foe. It wasn't until the shots took place when it was made obvious that he wasn't a friendly and that's when he was then taken out.

Also from the video, it looked like the SS sniper was caught off guard by the way he jumped backwards a little bit when the first shot was taken by the shooter.

Why in the hell would they allow snipers from more than one agency?  That's crazy.  But that's the only reason I can think of why the SS sniper would not be sure if it was friend or foe.  

When the SS comes to town, they should notify all law enforcement agencies that if they see anyone with a long rifle at the event who is not with them, they will be shot without any questions.
