Secret Service Faulted for Security Lapses at Trump Rally

The Secret Service blamed local Pennsylvania police for failing to secure a rooftop from which gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump during a rally. The Secret Service stated that securing the area outside the rally perimeter, including the factory grounds where Crooks was positioned, was the responsibility of local police. Neighbors near the rally site reported no contact from law enforcement before or during the event. The incident has prompted calls for an investigation into the Secret Service's security measures.
