New texts between members of Beaver County emergency services in Pennsylvania show just how understaffed they were ahead of a rally for former President Trump earlier this month when a would-be assassin shot him and others, killing a spectator. 

In a discussion between team leaders at emergency services, who were requested to assist with the rally, several unnamed people discussed their lack of available workers. 

According to one leader, his team was busy and could not work the rally, remarking that "everyone else is either working, on vacation or hurt," in texts obtained by Fox News Digital.

This report is developing and will be updated.
