The Task Force on the Sought Death of Donald Trump released a 53-page review of its research into what it calls” beautiful security problems” that led to the fatal shooting on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania that resulted in the deaths of Corey Comperatore and three others who were also hurt, including Trump.
According to the report, the Secret Service and local law enforcement did not communicate effectively and did n’t give the nearby property any consideration. The shooter’s movements were carefully documented in the report’s detailed report before he hoisted himself onto the roof of the American Glass Research ( AGR ) building and climbed onto an exterior air conditioner unit.
The work force is led by Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Penn., who serves the region that includes Butler. The preliminary findings are based on data from witnesses who testified at a work force reading, a number of meetings from the Secret Service and FBI, and 23 deliberate, copied see discussions of state and local law enforcement officials, as well as thousands of pages of paperwork in response to requests for information from federal, state, and local agencies. Additionally, Kelly emailed three warrants to native Pennsylvanian authorities to request sensitive documents.
Thomas Matthew Crooks, the shooter, was discovered by the research that he had spent about 20 minutes casing the Butler land show intricate basis on July 7, about a week before the march.
Around 9:30 a.m., Crooks purchased a rope at Home Depot in Bethel Park the day of the march, and he drove to Butler where he spent about 70 hours before returning to Bethel Park. In a forested area of Bethel Park, he eventually abandoned that rope.
” According to the FBI, at approximately]1: 30 p. m. ] Crooks ‘ father gave him the firearm that would later be used in the assassination attempt”, the report said. The rifle was officially given to Crooks by his parents the following month. Crooks had previously stated to his dad that he was going to a nearby gun range. Crooks then bought 50 rounds of ammunition at Allegheny Arms &, Gun Works at approximately]1: 54 p. m. ]”
Crooks flew a helicopter over the Butler Farm Show home for 11 minutes before returning around 3:45 p.m. Crooks was able to use the camera to determine the view of the level and floor about 200 yards away thanks to the vehicle’s flight way, according to the report.  ,
” Cross was reported by local law enforcement at [5 :26 p.m.], but digital evidence later revealed that he was actually walking past a row of vendors outside the secure perimeter about a half mile from the AGR property.”
Separately, three local law enforcement officials noticed Crooks around 5 p. m., and each told the work force that he seemed cautious. He continued to look up at a screen where local guns were stationed even though he was not dressed in the usual rally gear and was not watching what was happening inside the enclosed area.
Law enforcement repeatedly lost look of Crooks, but they started looking for him in the group after checking his information with one another.
At 5: 15 Crooks was seen with a prism.
According to the report,” Emergency Services Unit Witness 3″ sent a group of neighborhood guns a text information and photos of Crooks in which he was described.
Around 6 p. m., Crooks was seen standing beside a picnic table with a handbag on the ground, and immediately he “grabbed that suitcase, and then he took off running”, Emergency Services Unit Witness 3 testified. That was around 6: 06 p. m.
The witness reported to his radio and that he had seen the suspect work between the houses and was no longer able to see him. The area’s Butler Township Police Department employees received the call, and some soldiers departed their messages to search for Crooks.
Crooks was captured on video from a nearby business climbing to the ceiling using air conditioners in the back of the AGR advanced, and he was captured moving from one rooftop to another in the AGR intricate.  ,
According to the review, “bystanders even observed Crooks bringing himself into place and raising himself.” ” Some called the police, while others fought to get the police’s focus on the ground.”
” Butler Township Police Department Witness 2″ radioed,” one’s on the roof”, to all soldiers in the area.
He” started his gun in my experience,” he said.
See 4 from Butler Police and another law enforcement officer were alerted by this when they discovered Crooks running on the roof. When a partner second learned that Crooks had a gun, Witness 4 made the decision to pursue him and was being hoisted onto the roof by Witness 4.  ,
As his eyes were lifted large enough to see the ceiling, he saw Crooks.
” He only slowly turned on his neck, like … he sort of quietly turned around”, the testimony said. ” And as I came away, that’s when he pointed his rifle in my experience. And at that moment, I may observe, you know, he had a bookbag with him, I could see holsters. I knew he had a lengthy weapons, like an AR program. And as I’m coming up and he’s got the gun pointed at me, I do n’t know if I reach for my gun, if I slip, but all I know from that point is I’m looking at him, and all my weight is on my, like, arms, my hands, and I do n’t have a grip”.
I’m slammed against the floor and falling right away, I know. And then I simply begin yelling out to the men present, and I cry on the stereo right away. I start saying, you know, South close, He’s got a much gun, Male on the roof. I just kept repeating, He’s got a gun, He’s got a much weapon. I’m telling the people that are around, like, He’s straight up it, guns up, eye up, still screaming on the radio”.
The Task Force has not yet received any proof that a text from the Secret Service was sent before shots were fired. According to the report, Crooks ‘ presence was revealed via the regional police television channel.
At 6: 11 p. m., Crooks fired eight shells into the group. He had spent about six hours on the roof.
Witness 5 from the Butler Emergency Services Unit told the Task Force that he was the first law enforcement official to blaze at Crooks and that he believes he shot Crooks.  ,
A Secret Service shop rifle staff neutralized the gunman, according to former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle on July 15.
The report stated that testimony from local law enforcement indicates that they shot in Crooks ‘ way, which may have caused Crooks to cease firing, “while the specific order of pictures remains unclear.”
Prior to the march, the Secret Service and its regional law enforcement partners had poor planning and coordination, according to the document.
The ( AGR ) building on which the shooter was standing and the surrounding area were not included within the safe perimeter. Despite being about 150 miles from where Trump was speaking, the residents of that place did not use metal detection.
Local hero teams inside the AGR intricate had a limited scope of view from inside the building and were unable to observe the AGR house.
To facilitate communication between the Secret Service and its state and local lovers, there was no integrated control article. On the day of the incident, there were two demand content. Important local law enforcement partners were in a separate video in a separate area of the house, but the Secret Service control article could have accommodated more people, and there was no designated television connection between law enforcement in the two posts. Former Secret Service agent Patrick Sullivan, who told the task force it was “very unusual” to have separate command posts while on a visit, disagreed with that.
” Normally, there will be an overall command post for the entire visit”, Sullivan said, in the report. Then, each site will have a security room, which is where radio traffic relevant to that site is controlled. And the command post, the overall command post should be the state, local police, Secret Service, and other federal partners that may be assisting. So, the way it ended up here at this site is very unusual.
