Secret Service Failed to Act on Warning About Suspicious Individual Before Shooting at Trump Rally
The U.S. Secret Service was warned about Thomas Matthew Crooks, deemed a “threat” just 10 minutes before former President Donald Trump took the stage at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Despite the alert, Trump proceeded with his speech.
Earlier, Crooks had been flagged as a suspicious character due to a rangefinder and backpack.
However, he was not detained, and security lapses allowed him to roam freely. Crooks eventually opened fire, killing an ex-firefighter, wounding Trump, and injuring two others.
Criticism has been directed at the Secret Service for failing to secure a known-risk building’s roof and not acting on multiple warnings about Crooks, leading to calls for the resignation of Secret Service chief Kimberly Cheatle.
