The Secret Service is tightening security for President Donald Trump in the wake of the Wednesday assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Arrangements thus far have included the relocation of a 9/11 anniversary event to an indoor location and the expansion of security at the Yankees stadium, where he plans to attend a baseball game on Thursday, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Kirk sustained a fatal wound from a single bullet to the neck and died shortly after at the hospital. No suspect has been apprehended as of press time.

Trump himself was shot in July of last year, though he emerged largely unscathed, despite a bullet grazing his ear.
