US EditionOne year after Trump assassination attempt, changes at Secret Service but questions remain
BUTLER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, JUL 14 – A year after the attempt, investigations reveal security gaps and unanswered motives while victims and families continue to seek accountability and healing.
- On July 13, 2024, during an event in Butler County featuring Donald Trump, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks opened fire, injuring Trump and several others while killing firefighter Corey Comperatore.
- The shooting followed a chaotic event where emergency services quickly responded, with 911 receiving calls within seconds and helping over 200 people that day.
- The Secret Service suspended six agents without pay, ranging from 10 to 42 days, as part of a disciplinary review nearly one year after the attack, marking ongoing scrutiny and reforms.
- President Trump said, "They briefed me and I'm satisfied with it," while officials implemented 21 of 46 Congressional recommendations to prevent similar incidents in the future.
- Despite the disciplinary actions and improvements, questions remain about how Crooks could shoot so closely, and family members of Comperatore call for further accountability.
