A government watchdog report finds that the U.S. Secret Service did not receive 102 local radio transmissions during the July 2024 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where then-candidate Donald Trump was shot. According to the outlets, the missed alerts involved communications from local law enforcement regarding the presence and location of the would-be shooter while he is said to be taking a firing position. The reports state that none of the 102 radio calls were heard by the Secret Service, contributing to security failures identified by the watchdog. The accounts describe the findings as part of an Inspector General review and characterize the gap as a significant breakdown in communications between local authorities and federal agents. The summary of the incident includes that Trump is helped off the stage after the shooting. While the articles focus on the missed radio calls and their relevance to the timing of the attack, they generally present the watchdog’s conclusion that the Secret Service did not receive those specific local transmissions.
