Even if they saw Baker run past some may have thought "oh, poor man must need the bathroom bad".
May have took a good while for that whole gang on the steps to realise someone shot at the president at all and then it would be perhaps just a rumour.
It was either Meagher or Weisberg who first pointed out that not one of the TSBD employees was afraid of returning to the building, or acted like the shots came from their workplace. Some of the female employees would later tell the WC that they thought the shots came from the TSBD, but also said that they went right back to their offices. Oh really? Does that sound believable? In the office building where I work, if the President was shot right outside and anyone suspected the shooter was in our building, NO ONE would be going back in to possibly encounter a madman with a gun.
edit: missing words
Tracy, I think we can't really know why people do what they do in a tragedy. Look at 911 - how many people left both the North and South towers only to go back in.
