• A Senate Homeland Security report detailed multiple preventable planning and response failures and urged harsher disciplinary measures beyond recent agent suspensions
• Only about half of the 46 reforms recommended by congressional and independent panels have been enacted, leaving key threat-sharing protocols and accountability mechanisms incomplete
• Six agents were suspended without pay for 10 to 42 days over the Butler security lapse, but no employees have been terminated despite bipartisan calls for firings
• Despite extensive FBI and congressional investigations, the motive of gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks remains undetermined
