How does a 20 year old with an AR-15 able to shoot President Trump? #Trump #NassauPoliceCommissionerPatrickRyder #secretservice The recent shooting of former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally has raised serious questions about the security failures that enabled the attack. While there was significant Secret Service presence as well as local law enforcement on the scene, a gunman was able to get onto the roof of a building about 150 meters away from Trump and fire at both him and members of the crowd. That development has prompted concerns about missteps made by the Secret Service and gaps in the coverage provided for the former president at the event. “We are speaking of a failure,” Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said in remarks about the attack. Scrutiny of what went wrong has spurred President Joe Biden to order an independent review of the issue. House Speaker Mike Johnson has called for one in the lower chamber as well. “The Secret Service is working with all involved Federal, state and local agencies to understand what happened, how it happened, and how we can prevent an incident like this from ever taking place again,” Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle said in a statement regarding the shooting, noting that the agency would be fully cooperative with these investigations. There’s still a lot we don’t know as these reviews get underway, but early reports reveal potential lapses in coordination among federal and regional law enforcement, and a limited security perimeter that could have played a role
