💨 Abstract

The article describes the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, highlighting multiple failures by the Secret Service. A 20-year-old, Michael Thomas Crooks, shot at Trump from a nearby building, killing one attendee and wounding two others before being killed by a Secret Service agent. The incident exposed severe lapses in security planning, including an unguarded rooftop with a clear line of sight to Trump’s stage. Investigations revealed fragmented communications and oversight failures.
