    Drone Involved in Assassination Attempt on Former President Trump

    Why didn’t the Secret Serice have their own drones?

    In a startling revelation, the FBI disclosed that a drone played a pivotal role in the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The drone, utilized by the assailant, provided vital surveillance footage of the rally site in Butler, Pennsylvania, where the incident unfolded on July 13. The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old, allegedly positioned himself on a rooftop and used the drone to scout the area before opening fire, striking Trump in the right ear and causing one fatality and multiple injuries.

    During a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee, FBI Director Christopher Wray unveiled new details about the drone’s involvement. According to Wray, the drone flew over the Butler fairgrounds approximately two hours prior to Trump taking the stage, capturing footage from 3:50 p.m. to 4 p.m. The former President began speaking at 6 p.m., giving Crooks ample time to analyze the footage. The FBI suspects that Crooks may have been live-streaming the drone’s feed for about 11 minutes, using it to gain a comprehensive view of the surroundings.

    The drone’s footage, as per the FBI’s investigation, likely acted as a crucial tool for Crooks, akin to a rearview mirror, providing him with strategic insights into his position relative to the event’s security and layout. The drone, which was later found in Crooks’ vehicle, is now undergoing thorough analysis at the FBI lab to extract any further intelligence.

    The use of a drone in this manner underscores a significant security lapse. Experts suggest that implementing drone detection systems could have thwarted the assassination attempt. Such systems are already in use by military and law enforcement agencies, including the St. Petersburg Police Department in Florida and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, through solutions provided by companies like Dedrone. These systems are capable of not only detecting unauthorized drones but also identifying their operators, flight paths, and other critical data.

    The failure to deploy drone detection technology at the rally, a potential National Security Event, raises concerns about the preparedness of security agencies. Counter-drone technologies, currently restricted in deployment, could have provided an additional layer of security. These technologies can intercept and neutralize unauthorized drones, preventing them from gathering sensitive information. Furthermore, employing drones equipped with thermal cameras could have offered aerial reconnaissance, identifying potential threats even in concealed positions.

    The incident serves as a stark reminder of the evolving nature of security threats in the modern age. The ability of a relatively simple drone to circumvent existing security measures and aid in an assassination attempt highlights the urgent need for updated protocols and technologies. This event underscores the importance of comprehensive security strategies that include advanced drone detection and countermeasures to protect high-profile individuals and events.

    “That information has been passed to us from the FBI.”
