Members of the local SWAT team assigned to protect former President Donald Trump at his rally on July 13 have revealed that they had no contact with the Secret Service prior to an assassination attempt on the former president.
The shooting occurred on July 13 when a would-be assassin opened fire at Trump while he was addressing supporters.
During an exclusive interview with ABC News’ senior investigative correspondent Aaron Katersky, the officers detailed how a lack of communication and planning failures led to a critical delay in identifying and neutralizing the threat.
“They told us they had no communication with the Secret Service until after the gunfire started. This SWAT team saw the shooter. They recognized him as suspicious, even took pictures of him,” Katersky reported.
“None of the concerns, though, had a chance of reaching decision-makers before Trump took the stage because of what these men and women described as failures of planning and communication,” he added.
“So I think that that was probably a pivotal point where I started thinking things were wrong because that never happened and we had no communication with the Secret Service,” he added.
Jason Woods, the lead sharpshooter of the SWAT team in Beaver County, expressed his frustration.
“We were supposed to get a face-to-face briefing with the Secret Service snipers whenever they arrived, and that never happened,” Woods said.
The aftermath of this catastrophic failure resulted in one death—Corey Comperatore, a rally attendee—and left two others critically injured.

So it looks like they didn't know who is who on the roofs, that definitely could've caused a delay in shooting Crooks. The big question is what is this intentional? How could it not be?
I bet this is why neither the Secret Service Director Cheatler nor Wray were willing to release the names of all the agents involved at the hearings upon request.
