US - Jul 3, 2026 - 102 missed alerts, broken anti-drone system: US govt watchdog details security failures in 2024 Trump shooting - A critical report reveals the US Secret Service missed crucial local police radio chatter about the gunman who targeted President Trump in Pennsylvania. The agency also lacked a joint communications hub, receiving minimal alerts. This failure, coupled with an inoperable counter-drone system that missed a pre-attack drone flight, left the President's security vulnerable. The incident resulted in casualties and injuries.
