Security checks using metal detectors were conducted at election rallies. However, the man who was killed, Thomas Crooks, fired a rifle outside the venue from the roof of a building about 120 to 150 meters from where Trump was speaking.
Why was the suspect able to get so close, and why didn't the security forces look out for areas where they could shoot? Some in Congress and experts are calling for the person in charge to resign, saying it is a failure of the police force.
House Speaker Johnson (Republican) said, ``Congress will conduct a full investigation and find out where the security deficiencies were.'' House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman Comer also announced that he would call Cheatle as a witness at a hearing on the 22nd, saying, ``The American people want answers.'' A former member of the police force also told Reuters: ``This should not have happened. There will be an intensive review.''
