The Secret Service accepted "ultimate responsibility" for failing to prevent the shooting that struck Trump. However, key personnel refused to acknowledge specific failures in planning or security that contributed to the incident. Key errors included miscommunications between snipers, delayed responses to warnings, and technological issues.
