The assessment found that there is concern the convention and pre- and post-celebration venues could be attractive targets for foreign terrorist organizations, homegrown violent extremists, domestic violent extremist groups, so-called lone-wolf bad actors and active shooters, a law enforcement source said.

As such, all law enforcement and security agencies will be enhancing their presence and resources during the event. After the shooting in Pennsylvania, there is planning currently underway to expand the perimeter at the RNC and create buffer zones around the events, according to multiple law enforcement officials.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security classifies the RNC as a SEAR -1 event, which is defined as "significant events with national and/or international importance that require extensive federal interagency support." Federal law enforcement bulletins such as the joint threat assessment are required for all SEAR-1 events
 
Trump rally: Witness says he saw gunman on roof This guy says the police ignored him and others as they pointed out the shooter for several minutes. They let Trump get shot before they killed the shooter.
Get ready for congressional hearings on this. A lot of good that will do the poor guy who died and the other person critically injured. I can't believe this was allowed to happen.
 
Is there a map that has been published or a link to Google maps that shows the rally location as well as the location where the shooter was? I am trying to get a feel for the layout. TIA.

Quoting my own post in case someone else is interested in the location/layout. USA Today has some of the info.

Biden spoke with Trump

Joe Biden has spoken with Donald Trump, Reuters reports.

The president said earlier in a brief speech that he was trying to reach his predecessor and challenger in the November general election, after he was injured following a shooting at a rally in Pennsylvania earlier today.

 
I dunno, from that diagram - sure looks like a spot that should have been included in security preparations. The risk of someone accessing that area seems obvious.
I was thinking it was much further out, and even then it would be an incredible risk. This is so close it’s embarrassing they didn’t see him.

There will be a full investigation though.
 
Yes, they usually arrive a day or two before the event to survey everything and set up a plan. ICBW, but they don’t allow anyone to be in adjacent buildings during outdoor rallies.
I am wondering if the SS had to make sure that the shooter, before he shot, was not some other LE component, which is why they did not shoot him faster... IMO
