BUTLER, Pa. – Poor communication between local and federal law enforcement contributed to the mounting security failures that led to the assassination attempt on former President Trump, experts say.
Nearly 90 minutes after law enforcement spotted the would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old managed to evade law enforcement and climb onto a rooftop with a direct line of sight to the former president. He opened fire at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally site, striking Trump in the ear, killing an audience member and critically injuring two others.
