BeaverCountian.com reported that an officer confirmed the presence of three counter-snipers in the same building where the assailant shot part of Trump&#8217;s right ear. The officer had warned the command center about the threat before the gunman shot a rallygoer and injured three others, including Trump. Despite reports in national news outlets, the building was occupied by law enforcement and not outside the security perimeter established by the Secret Service. The Secret Service was aware of the threat posed by the building days before the rally but did not include it in the official security perimeter. Local police resources were focused on securing outside the Secret Service perimeter. The Secret Service&#8217;s failure to prevent the assassination attempt has been described as one of the worst agency scandals in American history. Trump made his first public appearance since the shooting at the Republican National Convention, where he was met with chants of &#8220;Fight! Fight! Fight!&#8221; as he entered the arena with a bandaged ear<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":494,"featured_media":2295905,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/WSJ-Chart.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[5077,35195,5430,3819,6842],"class_list":["post-2295904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-building","tag-counter-snipers","tag-presence","tag-report","tag-shooter"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/WSJ-Chart.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2295904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/494"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2295904"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2295904\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2295905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2295904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2295904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2295904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
