Former Secret Service agent Mark Lowery explains what he saw during the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump and what it means for the future.
President Biden has called for an independent investigation into the security procedures in place for the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania over the weekend.A gunman on the roof of a nearby building fired multiple shots, killing one rally attendee, critically injuring two others and wounding the former president.After the shots were fired, Secret Service agents jumped into action, creating a human shield around Mr. Trump.
Lowery doesn't have an answer as to how the shooter was able to get on the rooftop with a rifle undetected, but he says the counter snipers must be certain that there is a threat before they pull the trigger. "There can be a lot of things going on in these seconds, minutes before this occurred. They may have spotted this guy, and they're trying to get clarification," Lowery explained.
