The suspect’s apprehension at a checkpoint “shows that our multi-layered protection works,” he said, adding, “And I\u2019m grateful to our partners that help assist us with building these sites and protecting these sites.”<\/p>\n

Deputy Director Matthew Quinn also released a statement<\/a>, saying that “a coward attempted to create a national tragedy.”<\/p>\n

“He underestimated the protective capabilites of the U.S. Secret Service, and was stopped at first contact,” Quinn added. “The strength of our layered security posture was evident, with a myriad of countermeasures still ahead. Grateful for the brave men and women of the Secret Service and our valued Law Enforecment partners.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
