The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have issued a bulletin warning law enforcement agencies across the country of possible "follow-on or retaliatory" attacks in the wake of the attempted assassination of former US President Donald Trump.
A joint bulletin issued Monday night by the DHS and FBI urged vigilance at upcoming election-related events, citing concerns about "follow-on or retaliatory" attacks, according to ABC News.
The warning, issued as the Republican National Convention begins in Milwaukee, urged people to be vigilant and report any suspicious behavior.
The bulletin expressed concern over potential violence at upcoming events related to the 2024 presidential election, citing threats from members of online communities.
"The FBI and DHS remain concerned... particularly given that individuals in some online communities have threatened, encouraged, or referenced acts of violence in response to the attempted assassination," the bulletin said.
