MOSCOW, July 15 Security plan at the Republican Congress party in Milwaukee will not change, despite the assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump that occurred on Saturday during a rally in Pennsylvania, NBC News reported, citing sources.
“
“We do not foresee any changes in our security plans for this event,” Audrey Gibson-Chicino, the coordinator of the US Secret Service for Republicans, was quoted by the channel as saying, emphasizing that she refused to comment on a number of issues related to the shooting in Pennsylvania.
Gibson-Chichino also said that the organization of security for the party convention in Milwaukee, which received the status of an event requiring the highest level of security measures, has been going on for 18 months.
Trump interrupted a public appearance in Pennsylvania on Saturday due to the shooting. The video footage shows the politician being taken away by the arm by security, his ear bleeding. Trump later said he was shot in the ear and lost a lot of blood. The US Secret Service said it had killed a suspect who fired several shots towards the stage. One of the spectators, a 50-year-old former firefighter, was killed in the shooting, and two others were critically injured.
The suspect is 20-year-old Crooks from Pennsylvania, the state where the rally took place. He was reported to be hiding on the roof of a production building about 100 meters from the stage — outside the area where the event was being held.
The FBI called the incident an attempt on Trump's life.
