Secret Service agent suspended over Trump assassination attempt is unmasked - as widow of firefighter killed blasts agency | 10 July 2025 | A Secret Service agent suspended over the attempted assassination of Donald Trump failed to secure the perimeter of the campaign rally, it has been revealed, as the heartbroken widow of a firefighter shot dead in the botched attack hit out. Myosoty Perez was one of six agents suspended for between 10 and 42 days following the July 13, 2024 attack in Butler, Pennsylvania. She was sent to the location of the rally ahead of time and was specifically tasked with helping to secure the surrounds, the New York Post revealed. Shooter Thomas Crooks, 20, fired off eight shots from a nearby rooftop, narrowly missing Trump's vital organs and scraping his ear in a horrifying moment caught on live television. Firefighter Corey Comperatore was in the crowd and tragically killed by a stray bullet. His heartbroken widow Helen launched a blistering attack on the Secret Service for failing to protect "the love of her life" during an interview with Fox News almost a year on from his death.
