Summary
Two rally attendees injured in a July 2024 shooting are suing the U.S. government, accusing the Secret Service of catastrophic security failures that allowed a shooter to fire from a rooftop overlooking the stage — including a bullet that grazed then-candidate Donald Trump. The lawsuits highlight critical lapses: a non-operational drone, chaotic radio communications, and a failure to share vital intel from local police who had spotted the shooter hours earlier. Court docs reveal the Secret Service missed 102 urgent alerts about the armed suspect, and no joint command center was set up — a breakdown that the plaintiffs say could have prevented the violence. They’re seeking $150,000 each, demanding accountability for what they call a systemic collapse in presidential security.
