necessary to see Sherlock die...It's no coincidence!
2 Could the killers see Sherlock???One was in the house,one in the police station and one sniper!!!Who would notify them how to act???
3 Moriarty had planned that Sherlock sees him dying.However the killers had to be notified how to act even if Moriarty was dead!!!How or who???
What do you think???
In answer to number 1, only the sniper set up for John could see Bart's, and he only showed up AFTER Moriarty shot himself. Moriarty's 'people' were more than likely camped out on other roofs or out on the streets as informants, but the only true sniper showed up after the cue was given. See, Sherlock sent the text inviting Moriarty up on the rooftop after they first showed up at Bart's, and Moriarty responded a couple of hours later (the sun was out, John was sleeping with his head on a table when the Sherlock's false ambulance called). There was nothing immediate about it.
In regards to the placement of Lestrade's sniper (trickiest, as he would have had to get hired by the MET), Moriarty had the plan to kill Sherlock in the works, most probably, right after Irene's interruption was over. Blackmailing him into commiting suicide by threatening his friends was the best solution, so Moriarty began planting his people in all of the right places. John's sniper was one of the four criminals who moved into Baker St, and Mrs. Hudson's was a repair man. Those two were much easier to plant, so they came in a little later into the plan.
For #2, I've already answered that. Of course Moriarty with his massive criminal web wouldn't only have five people on the job. There were probably informants camped out on the street and buildings, and they were placed where they were in the few hours it took Moriarty to respond to the invitation.
3 ties into both 1 and 2. Moriarty also probably had a microphone tucked into his clothing so that his people could hear the gunshot go off, which was John's sniper's cue to hop on up to position AFTER Moriarty had killed himself. The other two killers probably also had earpieces or pagers, and they would have been notified that the signal had been given by Moriarty's informants.
I hope that explains a bit.
