The release of 911 calls from the July 13 shooting at a Donald Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, reveals the chaos and fear experienced by attendees during the assassination attempt. The recordings, which were made public following a lawsuit from various news organizations, capture panic-stricken callers informing dispatchers of gunfire, with one caller exclaiming, 'They just tried to kill President Trump.' Corey Comperatore, a 50-year-old firefighter, was killed while attempting to shield his family, and two others were critically injured. The calls highlight the urgency for assistance as attendees desperately sought information about loved ones amidst the confusion. An interim report by a bipartisan House task force criticized the Secret Service for inadequate planning and coordination with local law enforcement prior to the event. The shooter, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by a Secret Service sharpshooter shortly after the attack.
