From #LATimes, if you're not blocked by a paywall ... The blanks are being filled on the #Trump shooter timeline.
Some interesting tidbits:
* The shooter searched for campaign events by both Trump and #Biden. He chose the nearby Trump event. This suggests he wasn't motivated by partisanship.
* Local police were responsible for the sniper building. They didn't have the staffing. USSS didn't cover it.
* He'd been reported as suspicious but local police lost him. (1/x)
Good on you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@WordsmithFL What, did they eliminate the old lady?
When i was in law enforcement, our agency (and other locals) coordinated with USSS when Reagan was in town. The plan was the same --- USSS protects POTUS while local police, who know the area better, patrol and secure.
We had a local crazy lady who was always calling our phone lines, babbling threats and nonsense. She lived with her children; they did nothing about it.
She called me one day when Reagan was in town and threatened POTUS. I called USSS. We never heard from her again. 😊 (2/2)
