Chicago's top cop discusses DNC preps after Trump rally shooting

CPD Supt. Larry Snelling discussed security plans for the 2024 Democratic National Convention following a shooting at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania over the weekend.

CHICAGO - Chicago Police Supt. Larry Snelling held a news conference Monday afternoon to discuss security measures and preparations for the upcoming 2024 Democratic National Convention.

This comes just days after former President Donald Trump was wounded when gunfire erupted at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The former president and now official Republican nominee was showing off a chart of border crossing numbers during the rally when the sound of gunfire started ringing through the crowd.

Trump could be seen reaching with his right hand toward his neck; there appeared to be blood on his face.

He quickly ducked behind the riser as agents from his protective detail rushed the stage and screams were heard in the crowd of several thousand people. The gunfire continued as agents tended to him on stage.
