In the seconds after the shooting, Olivares said Secret Service agents did their jobs by shielding the president. “It was typical procedure,” he said. “I mean, you have to protect Donald Trump.

It is really a failure.”U.S. Secret Service said he fired multiple shots at the stage “from an elevated position outside the rally venue.
“Somebody’s supposed to cover that roof,” responded Olivares. “Somebody missed that. Yes. Somebody will be held accountable.”“That’s the disturbing thing because the protocols are already in place,” he said. “The protocols are there. Whether they were not adhered to, whether somebody ignored them -- we don’t know.”Daniela Ibarra joined the KSAT News team in July 2023.
