Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe Testifies — Shooter Was "Identified 26 Minutes Before" (2024-07-30)

Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe testifies before Congress, revealing new details about the Butler shooting. Rowe confirms that the shooter was identified as suspicious by local law enforcement on police radio 26 minutes before he opened fire, but this information was not relayed to Secret Service command. Rowe also reveals that the AGR building rooftop — from which Crooks fired — was left unsecured despite being identified as a vulnerability. The testimony raises more questions than it answers about the chain of command and who was responsible for the security failure.
