Two days before a gunman wounded former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, the Secret Service walked the site of the planned campaign rally with members of the Pennsylvania State Police, who had been pulled in for added security. At some point, a state police official raised a question about the roof of a warehouse that stood within 500 feet of the stage from which Trump was to speak. The Secret Service's answer -- according a state police commander's testimony in a congressional hearing Tuesday -- was that a local police unit would handle that building. "We were told that Butler ESU was responsible for that area, by several Secret Service agents on that walk-through," said State Police Col. Christopher Paris, referring to the Emergency Services Unit, a SWAT-style tactical unit made up of officers from several local counties.
