Part 6/12:
Lack of Inter-Agency Communication: Body cam footage and Congressional hearings reveal a breakdown in coordination among local police, Secret Service agents, and other law enforcement entities. Many officers had no direct communication link and no prior relationship, hampering effective response.
Breach of Perimeter and Surveillance: Crooks managed to navigate through dense security layers, climb a building, and position himself for a high-precision shot. The fact that a lone individual could get so close undetected is troubling. Even more concerning is the minimal visibility or responsiveness to a suspicious actor loitering with a rifle.
