Individual told BBC he had tried to alert police to an apparent sniper climbing onto a nearby roof
WASHINGTON – The attack on Donald Trump raised questions about how the Republican presidential candidate is protected on the campaign trail and what caused the apparent security lapses at Saturday’s rally.
During most of Trump’s campaign stops, local police aid the Secret Service in securing the venue. Agents from other agencies within the Department of Homeland Security, such as the Transportation Security Administration, occasionally help. Law enforcement officials typically put up barriers as a perimeter, and require all attendees to go through a metal detector to enter the venue. Armed protective agents search all attendees’ bags and even wallets. Many rallygoers are patted down by hand.
“They kept looking over to the left behind the event, before Trump came on stage. They seemed very focused on that area,“ said the attendee.
