Local law enforcement in Massachusetts is on heightened alert until November after an attempted assassination on former President Donald Trump at his Florida golf club. Trump is reported safe, with secret service agents intervening when the suspect, found with an AK-47-style rifle and other suspicious items, was detected near the golf course.
In Massachusetts, officials are increasing security in response to the incident. Former Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis noted that the state is preparing for heightened security measures as the election approaches. Statements from Massachusetts lawmakers, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Ed Markey, and Rep. Lori Trahan, condemned political violence and praised the Secret Service’s efforts in ensuring Trump’s safety.
