The U.S. Secret Service suspended six agents over the “operational failure” that led to an assassination attempt on then-presidential candidate Donald Trump during a reelection campaign rally nearly a year ago, Deputy Director Matt Quinn said in an interview with CBS News on Wednesday.

The shooting took place on July 13, 2024, at a campaign stop in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a would-be assassin opened fire from a nearby roof, grazing Trump’s right ear. Trump shouted “Fight! Fight! Fight!” to his supporters before Secret Service agents rushed him off the stage.
