Washington — The Republican National Convention kicks off Monday and will culminate with former President Donald Trump's acceptance of his party's nomination for the third time since 2016.
The four-day event is taking place in the aftermath of an attempted assassination of the former president on Saturday, which has put federal, state and local law enforcement officials on even higher alert heading into the convention. Changes to the security measures were being planned after Trump was injured at the Pennsylvania campaign rally.
Multiple law enforcement officials told CBS News that there is planning currently underway to expand the perimeter at the RNC and create buffer zones around the events. The gunman on Saturday opened fire with an AR-style rifle outside the security perimeter set up by Secret Service, law enforcement sources said.
