Secret Service Suspends Six Agents After Trump Rally Shooting Incident

In a significant move, the U.S. Secret Service has suspended six agents involved in securing the Pennsylvania rally where former President Donald Trump faced an assassination attempt. The incident occurred on July 13, 2024, when Trump was shot at during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, leading to a chaotic evacuation by Secret Service agents. According to Matt Quinn, the deputy director of the Secret Service, the suspensions range from 10 to 42 days without pay or benefits. The agents affected include several from the Pittsburgh field office and one directly assigned to Trump’s security detail. This decision comes as part of the agency’s internal review following the serious security breach that endangered the former president’s life, raising questions about the effectiveness of the protective measures in place during high-profile events.
