Butler, Pennsylvania Town Commissioner Edward R. Natali addressed concerns regarding the local police department's role in the recent shooting incident at a rally where former President Trump was present. Natali emphasized that the Butler Township Police Department (BTPD) did not have a security detail assigned to the event.
In a Facebook post, Natali stated that the BTPD had seven officers assigned to traffic detail and was not responsible for securing the building where the shooter positioned himself. He refuted claims that the local police were at fault and criticized reports suggesting otherwise as misinformed or misleading.
