Republican National Convention security tightens following Trump assassination attempt
The Republican National Convention (RNC) is going on as planned following the attempted assassination of President Trump, and heightened security can be seen around the venue expecting tens of thousands of people.
“Multiple layers of security and several perimeters to get through in order to get inside,” Fox News’ Bill Melugin posted to X early Sunday morning from Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, where the RNC starts Monday and runs through Thursday.
The security measures currently include many blocks of street closures in all directions surrounding the arena, including K-rail barriers and metal barricades. Additionally, police can be seen “all over,” and there are routine helicopter flyovers.
Those covering the event for the media had to go through three layers of security to enter the venue, showing press credentials each time. Security included Secret Service and TSA checkpoints, with metal scanners and bag checks.

“My staff and I are in contact with those coordinating security planning for the RNC and will continue to be in close communication as we learn more about this situation,” Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers posted to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “We cannot be a country that accepts political violence of any kind – that is not who we are as Americans.”
Attention quickly shifted to the nearly week-long event’s security following a shooting that injured the upper part of Trump’s ear at his rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

Gunfire broke out at the Trump rally shortly after the former president began speaking at the Butler Farm Show grounds. One rally attendee was killed, and two spectators were critically injured.

MILWAUKEE — Fans in Milwaukee are waking up to the news that Giannis Antetokounmpo has been traded, ending a 13-year run with the Bucks that included a championship in 2021.
The news of the trade broke late last night, and fans have mixed emotions about the move.
Before the trade happened, TMJ4 spoke with fans in Milwaukee about what they wanted to see happen.
Some fans were focused on what the Bucks could get in return.
Alonna Johnson
“If he gets traded, we get like some valuable pieces for him at least. I don’t want Bam Adebayo. I want Tyler Herro because he’s from Milwaukee so you know he’s a hooper they can keep bound,” Khorey said.
Others acknowledged Antetokounmpo’s impact even without following the sport closely.
Alonna Johnson
“I’m not a basketball fan myself but I know who Giannis is. And that says someone whose background is theater. We got a championship from him,” Halana said.
A mural created in honor of Antetokounmpo’s achievements on and off the court now stands as a reminder of his legacy in the city.
For those who predicted Antetokounmpo could be traded — they were correct.
Alonna Johnson
“I don’t like to see him get traded. I don’t like that. But the franchise is not big enough. Giannis needs to move in another direction,” Scheila said.
Not everyone was ready to accept the change.
Alonna Johnson
“Not saying that there’s anything wrong with anybody else, but Giannis is like the Bucks. So I would prefer if he didn’t because it’s just going to be weird. And then it’s like, who can follow in those big old footsteps,” Nariah said.
