[TheExpress] Secret Service says Trump Butler rally was first time counter-sniper team assigned
Former President Donald Trump was struck in the ear by a bullet or a bullet fragment shortly after he began speaking at the rally last month.
Acting US Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe has admitted that his agency "failed" to adequately protect former president Donald Trump when a gunman opened fire at a Pennsylvania rally last month.
“This was a Secret Service failure,” Rowe said at a press conference on Friday.
“That roof line should have been covered. We should have had better eyes on that.
Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was shot dead by Secret Service agents moments after opening fire at the rally in Butler last month.
Rowe revealed that the Butler rally was the first time that a Secret Service counter-sniper team was assigned to a Trump campaign event this year.
“Looking back it was very fortunate that we did,” Rowe said.
“The former president will have counter-sniper coverage moving forward as will the president, the vice president, Senator Vance.”
The former president has previously had counter-snipers from state and local authorities present at his events, Rowe said.
