In a recent news conference, Kevin Rojek, FBI special agent in charge of the Pittsburgh office, expressed surprise at the gunman's ability to fire multiple shots during a rally for former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. The incident raised concerns about security measures in place during the event.
During the conference, Rojek confirmed that law enforcement was only made aware of the gunman's presence on the roof when shots were fired. The assessment at the time indicated a lack of prior knowledge about the potential threat.
Rojek mentioned that a thorough investigation is underway to understand how the individual gained access to the location and the type of weapon used. The FBI and other agencies involved anticipate a lengthy process of examining security protocols and identifying any lapses that may have occurred.
Lt. Col. George Bivens of the Pennsylvania State Police emphasized the importance of the investigation in identifying any failures and implementing improved strategies for future events. The authorities are committed to learning from this incident to enhance security measures and prevent similar occurrences in the future.
