""The system worked," Blanche said of the security that foiled the gunman, the tone a sharp contrast from the fallout from the security failures surrounding the Butler, Pennsylvania, attempt on the president's life."
""Law enforcement and the Secret Service protected all of us," he said. "The man barely got past the perimeter.""
Officials believe the suspect traveled by train from California to Chicago and then to Washington, D.C., where he checked into a hotel. This hotel was set to host many national leaders. The suspect checked in on Friday, and his motive is still under investigation. Security measures were effective, as noted by Blanche, contrasting with previous security failures. Law enforcement and the Secret Service successfully prevented the suspect from breaching the perimeter.
