One year after Corey Comperatore was killed at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, his widow is demanding accountability from the Secret Service.
“We were all sitting ducks that day. Our blood is all over their hands. I am angry. I lost the love of my life. They screwed up,” Helen Comperatore told Fox News.
The Secret Service has confessed to several failures after 20-year-old gunman Thomas Crooks climbed onto a rooftop and fired eight rounds. Those shots took the life of Comperatore and injured three others, including then-former President Donald Trump.
“Why Butler? Why was that such a failure? Why weren’t they paying attention? Why did they think that that roof didn’t need covered? I want to sit down and talk to them. I have the right to. They need to listen to me,” Comperatore said.

Six Secret Service agents were reportedly suspended without pay or benefits on Wednesday in the wake of the shooting.
