Bangs started ringing through the crowd during Donald Trump's last rally before the Republican National Convention opens Monday.
Former special agent Bobby McDonald spent 21 years with the Secret Service from 1995 to 2015 and was responsible for securing Presidents Clinton and Bush.ATLANTA — Safeguarding the president and former presidents of the United States, their families and those around them whenever they're out in public requires a lot of work.
Angelina: Let's start off by giving me your reaction to what happened at former President Donald Trump's rally earlier today.Well, the first thing I thought of was this is what the Secret Service trains for every day. That there is a seamless protective plan in place. Motorcade routes have been developed. Alternate motorcade routes have been developed, and a hospital survey has been developed. A command post has been developed. All of these things that the Secret Service does every time one of its protectees makes a movement are done each and every time with the same consistency to develop a secure and robust security plan for that protectee during that visit.
Angelina: Would you say that in this incident something failed because the Secret Service's goal is to protect whoever may be their responsibility for that day? Obviously, in this case, the president ended up getting shot.I'm not sure at this point; I'm ready to say that something failed. Obviously, something happened here, some type of incident, some type of assassination attempt.
So again, it's very easy to uh to throw stones this early in the investigation, and I'm not particularly ready to do that yet, but the Secret Service will take a very good, hard look at what they did, how they did it, why they did it and what they can do better in the future to make sure something like this doesn't happen.
Angelina: Can you talk to me about the moment where they keep him down and, obviously, wait to take him off the podium? What are they waiting for? I know that we can hear on the audio that someone says the shooter is down.We want to be able to again, develop a quick cocoon around the President so that we know that he is safe and sound. They are communicating with him on the ground and they're taking a slight pause.
