“Our personnel met with the team lead from Butler ESU and they discussed areas of concern, areas of responsibility, and that did in fact happen at the site on that day,” Mr. Rowe said.
Jason Woods, the Butler team leader, told ABC News that his team expected to have a briefing after Secret Service arrived on-site, but “that never happened.”
“We had no communication,” Mr. Woods told the outlet. “Not until after the shooting.”[/epoch_component]…
