Read previewA former Secret Service agent said counter-snipers at the Pennsylvania rally where a would-be assassin wounded former President Donald Trump should have had "360-degree coverage" of the event and surrounding buildings. "I don't know how many they had, but they usually always look for 360-degree coverage," former Secret Service agent Anthony Cangelosi told Business Insider. AdvertisementCangelosi said the Secret Service would sometimes use "counter-sniper response units," which are posted on the ground and can quickly move into position if they notice a threat. AdvertisementCangelosi said he expects the Secret Service to amp up security at future events moving forward. "The Secret Service is well aware of the fact that they have to be perfect all of the time," Cangelosi said.

"This counter-sniper made an amazingly quick decision and clearly saved Trump's life," said Bill Pickle, the former special agent in charge of Al Gore's vice-presidential Secret Service detail. AdvertisementCangelosi said the Secret Service team at the event should have a "site plan" that would include a layout of the area and the surrounding buildings. The Secret Service has advance teams that scope out sites and make staffing recommendations ahead of major events, one expert said. The CS team returned fire, long-gun-toting counter-assault agents in black jumpsuits and helmets rushed the stage, and business-suited agents on the rally platform hurried Trump off stage. "The worst nightmare for the Secret Service has always been a lone gunman who hasn't been announcing his views publicly and is ready to die."
