Read previewThe local SWAT team assigned to guard former President Donald Trump's rally on July 13 said it had "no communication" with the Secret Service before a gunman tried to assassinate him. In an interview published by ABC on Sunday, Woods and his team members said the first time they communicated with Secret Service agents on the ground was only after the shooting. But The Washington Post reported on Sunday that Secret Service members on Trump's detail complained they never received the warning from the countersnipers in the AGR building. The aftermath of the assassination attempt, which put Trump within inches of losing his life, has been a reckoning for the Secret Service. "The assassination attempt of former President Trump on July 13th is the most significant operational failure of the Secret Service in decades," Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle said on July 22.

Seconds after gunfire rang out, Secret Service counter-assault snipers began shooting the suspect who was found on top of a roof. They put it out over their radio to keep an eye on him- and that information was passed to Secret Service as well, according to the source. The Secret Service does not allow any weapons inside the cordoned off areas of any event. In a statement, the Secret Service said the detail had been increased recently. “”There’s an untrue assertion that a member of the former President’s team requested additional security resources and that those were rebuffed,” said Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.

☆ Job posts for workers without degrees are booming. The actual hiring doesn't always follow

But as data emerges on degreeless hiring, there are signs that some of these efforts may be falling short. It's based on limited data and doesn't consider alternative pathways that people without degrees use to join organizations, such as through apprenticeships and internships. But it's still a snapshot look at how some of the top employers in the U.S. are doing in their efforts to hire more workers based on skills versus degree attainment. Rather, it implies managers may be reticent to hire people without degrees, absent specific policies to assess these workers' skills. Companies that have been successful with skill-based hiring also articulate clearly the skills they require for a job, even before posting it.
