House panel drops final report on Trump's summer rally shooting incident

The bi-partisan House task force published its last report about the shooting at Donald Trumpʼs rally in Butler Pennsylvania last summer. The 180-page document (which took over 6 months to complete) didnt show any unexpected findings

The task-force looked into the incident where a gunman shot at the ex-president during his campaign stop: one person died and three others — including Trump got hurt. The investigation team talked to witnesses did site checks and got info from different government offices

The report points to many problems that happened before and during the rally: security wasnt good enough coordination was poor and response time was slow. However the task force couldnt find one specific thing to blame; instead they saw multiple small-scale issues that added up

  • 46 people gave witness statements
  • Several hearings took place
  • Federal agencies shared their findings
  • Team members visited the crime scene

The investigators said this attack shouldnt have happened at all — but its hard to point fingers at just one person or decision. They found that better planning and security could have stopped this whole thing from happening in the first place
