What would have happened next:

Spotter realises sniper is dead, picks up rifle and continues with sniping.

Genius move, Gerard.

...then whoa, differences...

Let's be honest here. It's not like the sniper and the spotter were the only 2 bad guys in the White House garden. I think we were being asked to believe that Gerard did what he could, in the face of overwhelming odds, in his race to get inside the White House.🐭

You kill who you can. He was outnumbered. Killing the sniper is a priority over a spotter. That's why they are spotters, the sniper has better aim

He could also have killed the spotter off-camera, when there was a cut to another scene. Just because something is not shown in a movie does not mean it never happened.
