Secret Service Snipers Alerted, Capture Trump Rally Shooter on Video
TL;DR Summary
A Washington Post analysis reveals that Secret Service countersniper teams at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, may have been hindered by the slanted roof and nearby trees, which obstructed their view of the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks. Despite the Secret Service's efforts, Crooks managed to open fire before being fatally shot. The incident has prompted an independent review ordered by President Biden to prevent future security lapses.
