The retired U.S. Secret Service agent is still grappling with Saturday’s attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
Like many, Robert Caltabiano received a text message Saturday evening and quickly turned on the television to watch the aftermath of the attempted assassination of a former president.
As for scrutiny over the gunman on the unsecured roof, the breakdown in communication and action well before the first shots rang out, Caltabiano says that was “a catastrophic failure.” “They probably did not get what they really needed, which means the manpower, other certain things that I can't talk about on that, and so that's a catastrophic event,” he said.
During the March 1981 assassination attempt, secret service agents quickly pushed an injured President Ronald Reagan into his presidential limousine and rushed to a local hospital as other agents and local police detained the gunman and tended to the wounded.
