The next day, three minutes before shots were fired toward Trump, local police radioed that a man was on a nearby roof.
That warning never made it to the Secret Service, whose snipers didn’t know the would-be assassin was on the roof until shots rang out.
“I can confirm that the Butler County ESU team made radios available to the Secret Service and that they were not utilized by the Secret Service,” Goldinger said in a statement.
But the issue of how to directly communicate with local law enforcement remains unresolved.
Evan Vucci/AP Secret Service agents rush the stage immediately after the shooting.
