Washington, D.C. : In a dramatic turn of events, six Secret Service agents have been suspended in connection with the 2024 assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump. The disciplinary action comes amid findings of negligence during the high-profile campaign rally where Trump was shot at, narrowly escaping with a bullet grazing his ear.

The U.S. Secret Service, under immense public and political pressure, launched an internal investigation shortly after the shocking incident that took place in July 2024. Eyewitness accounts and video footage revealed gaps in perimeter security and delayed neutralization of the shooter — failures that could have cost the former president his life.

According to sources within the Department of Homeland Security, the suspended agents were tasked with protecting the outer security ring. Reports indicate that the shooter managed to get alarmingly close to the stage, firing a shot that clipped Trump’s right ear, causing minor bleeding but no life-threatening injuries.

The attack led to chaos at the venue, with Secret Service operatives rushing to shield Trump while law enforcement neutralized the attacker seconds later. Trump was seen holding his bleeding ear and later shared a video assuring supporters of his safety.

Public outrage had been growing over how such a breach was even possible, given the known threats and Trump’s polarizing presence. The latest suspension confirms fears that there were glaring lapses in intelligence handling and execution of protective protocols.

White House officials have so far declined to comment on the disciplinary action, but insiders say more heads may roll as deeper audits of protective services continue. Trump himself has demanded a “complete overhaul” of campaign security, accusing federal agencies of “complacency and political bias.”

The shooter, identified as a lone radicalized individual, was shot dead on the spot, but the investigation into potential accomplices is still ongoing.
