[11:39] EXACTLY WHAT WENT WRONG WAS A

[11:41] PREPARATION AND PLANNING

[11:42] EXECUTION WAS BOTH. HERE'S

[11:46] WHAT WE FOUND OUT.

[11:47] >> NOW THAT THE FBI HAS

[11:50] ON THE FARM SHOW GROUNDS WITH

[11:51] THE RALLY HAPPENED. I WHERE

[11:53] I'M STANDING RIGHT NOW IS

[11:56] PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY WHERE

[11:57] FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS

[11:58] WHEN HE WAS SHOT. IT'S EERIE

[11:59] BEING OUT HERE KNOWING WHAT

[11:59] HAPPENED KNOWING THAT A MAN

[12:02] LOST HIS LIFE CLOSE TO HERE. 2

[12:04] PEOPLE SERIOUSLY INJURED, BUT

[12:05] PERHAPS WHAT IS MOST STRIKING

[12:08] IS THAT THE BUILDING RIGHT

[12:08] THERE

[12:10] >> THAT THE GUNMAN WAS ABLE TO

[12:12] CLIMB UP ON TOP OF AN FIRED

[12:13] THOSE SHOTS THAT IT'S SO CLOSE

[12:15] TO WHERE I'M STANDING, ONLY.

[12:16] >> ABOUT 400 FEET AWAY

[12:20] HAPPENED.

[12:21] >> THE LAW ENFORCEMENT

[12:22] FAILURES DID NOT JUST BEGIN

[12:23] THE DAY OF THE TRUMP RALLY IN

[12:24] BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA. THEY

[12:27] BEGAN WEEKS BEFORE A LAW

[12:29] ENFORCEMENT SOURCE TELLS NEWS

[12:29] NATION THE SECURITY PLAN

[12:30] DEVELOPED BY THE SECRET

[12:33] SERVICCE WAS FLAWED. A SOURCE

[12:34] SAYS THE BUILDING THE GUNMAN

[12:36] CLIMBED ON TOP OF TO SHOOT

[12:40] TO BE SECURED BY LOCAL POLICE

[12:42] AND THERE WAS EVEN A STAR ON

[12:44] THE PLAN EXPLICITLY INDICATING

[12:45] IT WAS THE LOCAL POLICE

[12:46] DEPARTMENT THAT WAS

[12:47] RESPONSIBLE FOR SECURING THE

[12:48] BUILDING DESPITE IT BEING SO

[12:49] CLOSE TO WHERE THE PRESIDENT

[12:53] WAS SPEAKING. SOURCES TELL

[12:54] NEWS NATION THE SECRET SERVICE

[12:55] DID NOT SHOW UP FOR THE FINAL

[12:59] PLANNING MEETING. AND THEIR

[13:00] PERIMETER WAS TOO SMALL.

[13:02] BUTLER TOWNSHIP POLICE

[13:04] DEPARTMENT IS A SMALL

[13:05] DEPARTMENT. THERE'S ONLY ABOUT

[13:06] 12 FULL-TIME OFFICERS AND

[13:08] WE'VE LEARNED THAT THEY'RE THE

[13:09] CHIEF RETIRED AND THERE'S

[13:11] ACTUALLY A LIEUTENANT IN

[13:12] CHARGE RIGHT NOW. AND SOURCES

[13:13] CLOSE TO THE DEPARTMENT TELL

[13:14] US THAT THEY WERE SHOCKED WHEN

[13:15] THEY FOUND OUT THEY WOULDN'T

[13:17] BE DOING TRAFFIC.

[13:20] EVENTS, BUT INSTEAD WOULD BE

[13:21] IN CHARGE OF SECURING THE

[13:24] BUILDING. STAFFING CONCERNS

[13:25] HAVE COME UP AGAIN AND AGAIN.

[13:29] THE E SECRE SERVICE FOR BEEFED

[13:31] UP SECURITY IN THE PAST NEWS

[13:32] NATION HAS LEARNED THE DAY OF

[13:35] THE RALLY. THE SECRET SERVICE

[13:36] REQUESTED AN ADDITIONAL POLICE

[13:38] BUTLER TOWNSHIP SAID THEY

[13:39] DIDN'T HAVE ONE.

[13:40] >> AND DURING THE RALLY, A

[13:43] SOURCE SAYS THE LOCAL POLICE

[13:43] OFFICERS WERE INSIDE THE

[13:46] BUILDING NOT KEEPING AN EYE ON

[13:50] SOURCES AGREE THAT LOCAL

[13:51] OFFICERS WERE ON THE ROOF

[13:52] BRIEFLY, BUT BECAUSE OF THE

[13:54] HEAT MOVED DOWN TO THE GROUND,

[13:56] ANOTHER TEAM OF LOCAL OFFICERS

[13:59] INSIDE THE BUILDING THROUGH A

[14:00] WINDOW. SOURCES HAVE SAID

[14:02] SINCE THE BEGINNING THAT THERE

[14:03] WERE COMMUNICATION ISSUES, BUT

[14:05] IT APPEARS IT'S EVEN WORSE

[14:06] THAN WE REALIZED. THE HOUSE

[14:09] SAYS THEY'VE DISCOVERED THAT

[14:11] THE SECRET SERVICE AND LOCAL

[14:11] POLICE.

[14:12] >> WE'RE NOT EVEN ABLE TO

[14:15] COMMUNICATE OVER THEIR RADIOS

[14:17] THAN NORMALLY.

[14:20] LOCALS IN THE SECRET SERVICE

[14:21] AREA TODAY, THE LOCAL SHE

[14:22] SHARED WITH US THAT THEY WERE

[14:23] NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE ANYBODY IN

[14:24] THERE. SO THAT MAKES YOU WANT

[14:28] AND IN TERMS OF RADIO

[14:29] COMMUNICATIONS FROM WHAT WE

[14:30] CAN TELL THE DAY AND WE WE

[14:31] NEED TO GET SOME CLARITY. SOME

[14:33] GRANULARITY ON THIS. THERE WAS

[14:35] VERY LIMITED COMMUNICATION

[14:36] BETWEEN THE LOCALS ARE THE

[14:38] OUTER PERIMETER AND THE INNER

[14:40] PERIMETER IT APPEARS IT WAS

[14:41] PEOPLE AT THE RALLY WHO

[14:43] SPOTTTTED TE GUNMEN EVEN BEFORE

[14:44] POLICE. WHEN DID YOU FIRST

[14:46] NOTICE THE SHOOTER?

[14:47] >> WE NOTICED THE SHOOTER

[14:48] BECAUSE PEOPLE TO MY LEFT OF

[14:50] US WAS THE GUYS WERE TALKING

[14:52] THAT THEY'RE SEEING SOMEONE ON

[14:54] THE ROOFTOP.

[14:55] >> A MINUTE OR 2 BEFORE THE

[14:59] SAW GREY SHIRT CLIMBING UP THE

[14:59] METAL ROOF ON THE BUILDING THE

[15:03] SITE. U.S. DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE

[15:07] WAS DOING AND TRYING TO ALERT

[15:09] POLICE. THERE IS A GUY KRON ON

[15:11] THE ROOF AND WE SAW A RIFLE

[15:12] SLUNG OVER HIS SHOULDER ON. I

[15:13] DON'T KNOW WHY THEY'RE WAITING

[15:14] SO LONG TO TAKE THIS GUY OUT.

[15:14] BUT

[15:17] >> BUT THEY ARE POSITIONED.

[15:18] DOING WHAT THEY WERE DOING.

[15:21] AND WE WENT LISTING TO A

[15:23] DONALD TRUMP SPEAK. SO WHY

[15:23] DIDN'T THE SECRET SERVICE

[15:24] SNIPERS TAKE OUT THE GUNMAN

[15:27] BEFORE HE STARTED FIRING?

[15:29] >> NEWSNATION OBTAINING THIS

[15:29] PHOTO WITH THE TIME STAMP OF

[15:31] 06:00:04PM, 7 MINUTES BEFORE

[15:33] THE SHOOTING. AND YOU SEE

[15:33] SNIPERS LOOKING IN THE

[15:36] DIRECTION OF THE GUNMAN. WE

[15:38] ALSO OBTAINED A PHOTO FROM

[15:39] 5.41. EVEN EARLIER THAT SHOWS

[15:41] SNIPERS LOOKING AT THE ROOF.

[15:43] SOURCES WITHIN THE SECRET

[15:44] SERVICE SAY THE WORKING THEORY

[15:46] RIGHT NOW IS THE SNIPEPER DID

[15:48] NOT INITIALLY SHOOT THOMAS

[15:49] CROOKS BECAUSE THE SNIPER

[15:50] THOUGHT CROOKS WAS A POLICE

[15:52] OFFICER ON THE ROOF WHICH

[15:54] MAKES SENSE CONSIDERING THE

[15:55] ORIGINAL SECURITY PLAN

[28:46] Ask their doctor

[41:19] THE SCENE IN THE SMALL TOWN

[41:20] RIGHT OUTSIDE ABOUT MORE THAN

[41:20] 100 EMERGENCY VEHICLES FROM

[41:24] ALL OVER THE REGION. PAYING

[41:25] RESPECT TO COREY COMPERATORE,

[41:27] THE FATHER AND FORMER FIRE

[41:28] CHIEF WHO DIED TRYING TO

[41:31] PROTECT HIS FAMILY. AS FOR THE

[41:32] OTHER 2 JAMES KOPP AND HABER

[41:34] STILL IN THE HOSPITAL TONIGHT

[41:35] IN SERIOUS CONDITION. AND NEWS

[41:36] NATION HAS LEARNED THAT DAVID

[41:38] DUTCH WAS JUST DISCHARGED FROM

[41:40] THE HOSPITAL IS HOPEFULLY

[41:43] GOING TO BE DOING WELL. LIVES

[41:45] BE CHANGED FOREVER. FOR NOW

[41:47] ALL WE HAVE TO WEIGH ON THE

[41:48] FBI TO CONDUCT THEIR FULL

[41:49] INVESTIGATION. WE N PROMISE

[41:51] WE WILL NOT STOP PUTTING

[41:52] PRESSURE ON THEM TO BE

[41:54] TRANSPARENT. WE WON'T STOP

[41:55] DIGGING FOR THE TRUTH HERE IN

[41:57] BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA, WE WILL

[41:59] KEEP TALKING TO OUR SOURCES

[42:01] EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND IF YOU

[42:02] ARE A WHISTLEBLOWER WATCHING

[42:08] CONTINUE TO PUT PRESSURE ON
