Report: Secret Service missed 102 urgent messages before Trump Butler, Pennsylvania rally shooting<\/p>\n

Government officials said in a report that during Donald Trump’s 2024 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Secret Service officials failed to receive more than 100 urgent messages about an active shooter. <\/p>\n

According to a release from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General on June 30, 2026, the Secret Service failed to carry out and arrange several security measures during Trump’s then-campaign rally for president on July 13, 2024, at the Butler Fairgrounds, which is located around 44 miles from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Sister station WTAE<\/a> in Pittsburgh reports that the 64-page report outlined the Secret Service’s shortcomings, saying members failed to receive 102 radio transmissions from local authorities concerning an “increasingly intense search for a suspicious person.” <\/p>\n

According to the report from OIG, the Secret Service only received five phone calls and three text messages about the shooter, who was later identified as Thomas Crooks<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The calls included reports that Crooks had a range finder and a long gun and had taken a position on top of the American Glass Research International complex’s roof. <\/p>\n

The shooting resulted in the death of rallygoer Corey Comperatore<\/a>. Two other attendees were injured as a result of the incident. <\/p>\n

Trump was also grazed by a bullet and sustained an injury to his ear. <\/p>\n

Authorities said the Secret Service did not establish a joint communications room with representatives from all law enforcement agencies, which, if done, could have prevented harm or injury to the then-presidential candidate and rally attendees. <\/p>\n
