Dallas Alexander, a veteran renowned for his sniper skills and part of a record-breaking Canadian military team, has weighed in on the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
Speaking via Instagram and X account, Alexander suggested that the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, may have received assistance to get into position.
Alexander, drawing on his extensive experience, expressed skepticism about Crooks acting alone.
He pointed out that the shooter managed to position himself on a rooftop just 130 yards away from where Trump was speaking, a feat Alexander finds highly implausible without inside help.
According to Alexander, the proximity of the shooter to Trump was a glaring security oversight.
He emphasized that such a scenario, where a gunman could get within range of a high-profile target like a former president, defies basic security protocols.
Highlighting the precision and planning required for such an operation, Alexander questioned how Crooks, if acting alone, could breach multiple layers of security without being detected earlier.
He stressed that someone with the ability to infiltrate that close should also possess the marksmanship to ensure a fatal shot.
Call for Investigation
Alexander concluded his remarks by calling for a thorough investigation into the incident, suggesting that the circumstances demand scrutiny into possible lapses in security protocols.
The shooting has sparked widespread concern and calls for accountability, with both Republicans and Democrats demanding answers from the Secret Service.
Witnesses reported warnings to law enforcement about an armed individual on a building near the rally site, raising questions about the response and surveillance protocols in place.
Presidential Security Review
President Joe Biden has announced an independent review of national security measures during the rally, promising transparency in sharing the findings with the public.
Former Secret Service agent Joseph LaSorsa echoed concerns about security lapses, emphasizing the need for enhanced protection for former presidents.
Congressional Scrutiny
In response to the incident, House Republicans plan to grill Secret Service head Kimberly Cheatle in an upcoming hearing.
Lawmakers seek clarification on the agency’s handling of the security breach and measures to prevent future occurrences.
