The US Secret Service on Friday outlined multiple failures revealed in its review of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a rally in July.
Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks managed to open fire from a nearby rooftop during the outdoor event hosted by Republican candidate Trump, who narrowly escaped death but sustained an injury to his right ear.
The review “identified deficiencies in the advance planning and its implementation,” Acting Director Ronald Rowe Jr. said at a press briefing. “While some members of the advance team were very diligent, there was complacency on the part of others that led to a breach of security protocols.”
