Local law enforcement had alerted the U.S. Secret Service to a suspicious individual before the shooting at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania earlier this month, according to the head of the Pennsylvania State Police.

During questioning before the House Homeland Security on July 23, Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Col. Christopher Paris revealed new details about the security failure that led to the attempted assassination of former President Trump, which left one person dead and two injured.
