Trump Rally Security: Secret Service Was Informed Of Police Inability To Watch Sniper Location
In the lead-up to a rally of former President Donald Trump, where a shooting incident took place, local law enforcement had reportedly cautioned the Secret Service about their inability to provide adequate security.
特朗普概念前總統拉力集會前發生槍擊事件，當地執法部門曾警告特勤局不能提供足夠的安保。
What Happened: Local police had informed the Secret Service about their lack of resources to station a patrol car outside a key building where the shooter later positioned himself and fired at Trump, as confirmed by local and federal law enforcement and Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi, reported The Washington Post.
事件經過：據《華盛頓郵報》報道，當地和聯邦執法機構以及特勤局發言人安東尼·古格萊姆尼證實，當地警方曾通知特勤局，稱由於缺乏資源，無法在槍手隨後瞄準特朗普的關鍵建築物外部駐守警車。
Butler County, Pa., District Attorney Richard Goldinger stated that the Secret Service was notified that the local police department was short-staffed and couldn't assist with securing the building. The building, the Agr International building complex, had a clear view of the rally stage less than 150 yards away, where Trump would later stand.
賓夕法尼亞州巴特勒縣地方檢察官理查德·高德格宣稱，當地警局曾告知特勤局其人手不足，無法協助保護特朗普之際採取安保措施的Agr International大樓。該建築距離特朗普演講臺不到150碼，槍手托馬斯·馬修·克魯克後來在該建築物處開槍射擊。
Approximately 20 to 30 minutes before the shooting, local police inside the building warned the Secret Service security team via radio about a suspicious individual with a golf range finder and backpack. The shooter, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, managed to reach the building's roof.
槍擊事件發生之前，大約20至30分鐘，大樓內的當地警察通過無線電向特勤局安保團隊報告稱，有一名持高爾夫測距儀和揹包的可疑人物。開槍射擊的克魯克在後來設法到達了大樓的頂部。
The incident has raised concerns about the Secret Service's planning and security provisions for the high-stakes presidential campaign visit. The security lapses are currently under multiple federal investigations, and there are calls for Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to step down.
此事件引起了人們對特勤局在高風險總統競選訪問的計劃和安保措施的擔憂。目前，特勤局的安保疏漏正接受多項聯邦調查，有呼聲要求特勤局局長金伯利·切特爾下臺。
Why It Matters: The shooting incident, which left Trump bloodied and was swiftly evacuated by the Secret Service, has been a source of intense scrutiny for the Secret Service.
爲何重要：這起槍擊事件使特勤局備受關注，特朗普趕緊被特勤局緊急疏散。
Despite the criticism, Secret Service Director Cheatle has announced that she will not resign from her position. In an interview with ABC News, Cheatle acknowledged the severity of the incident and accepted responsibility, stating, "The buck stops with me."
儘管受到批評，特勤局局長切特爾表示她將不會辭職。在接受ABC新聞採訪時，切特爾承認了事件的嚴重性並承擔責任，稱：“錯誤有我在身。”
