A Secret Service counter drone operator futilely searched the internet for the location of the rooftop President Trump’s would-be assassin was spotted on as shots rang out at the July 13, 2024, campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, according to a Department of Homeland Security inspector general report released Thursday. The report concluded Secret Service “missed multiple opportunities to detect, prevent, and disrupt” deranged gunman Thomas Crooks’ attempted assassination of Trump, including shocking communications failures that resulted in the president’s protective detail never being warned that an armed man had climbed onto the American Glass Research International (AGR) complex’s roof just 155 yards from the stage. 3 Trump protective detail was not made aware that a suspicious person — Crooks — had been spotted by local law enforcement.
