BTW: It has always been the policy of the Secret Service to NEVER discuss anything regarding the protection of an official and their procedures so WHY are they talking at all...

Trump's Secret Service drew weapons on a suspect who had a gun and supposedly fired in the open and the gunfire of either the suspect or Secret Service grazed a nearby "juvenile." Hope the kids parents are MAGA fans... www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...
