What the report found

A U.S. Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General review concluded the Secret Service missed multiple opportunities to detect and disrupt the attack. The agency did not establish joint communications with local police, causing agents to miss more than 100 radio transmissions, left an area beyond the rally perimeter unsecured and failed to ensure a known rooftop vantage point was blocked.

Aftermath and other plots

Crooks fired eight rounds from an AR-15–style rifle before being stopped by a Secret Service counter-sniper team. Supporter Corey Comperatore was killed and two others were wounded. The coverage also notes two other thwarted attempts on Trump’s life reported by authorities, including an arrest at a White House Correspondents’ Dinner and a separate suspect who was captured before firing.
