SWAT expert Gene Petrino questioned Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle’s response to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on Saturday.
A former SWAT commander balked at the «audacity» of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle blaming the «sloped roof» for not positioning snipers on the building where Thomas Crooks opened fire at Saturday’s rally for former president Trump.
Gene Petrino, who served as the SWAT commander for Florida’s Plantation Police Department for 26 years and is an expert on active shooter incidents, told Fox News Digital on Wednesday that Cheatle’s «sloped roof theory» was «shocking.»
He added that there were clearly more favorable spots for snipers to scope out the venue in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Crooks killed one man and injured three others, including Trump.
«That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point», Cheatle said in an interview with ABC News.
