Her call for accountability has resonated with many who seek answers about the security failures that led to the tragic event.

Secret Service Takes Action Following Shooting

In response to the shooting, six Secret Service agents have been suspended without pay or benefits. This action underscores the agency’s acknowledgment of its shortcomings and its commitment to preventing similar incidents in the future. Curran has pledged to provide comprehensive answers to all questions surrounding the assassination attempt.
