Has your character even [i]seen[/i] the sniper yet?

If not, who is to say the person who just got the jump on you isn't him?

And Hunter is already committed to rushing the actual sniper, so it isn't as though he'll be in a position to turn-around right away until he realizes his suppressive-fire isn't there.

The fact that Mr Taggart's arrival is totally screwing up your plan (and therefore endangering the lives of others) is likely a result of "a failure to communicate".
