During Saturday's attempted assassination against a prominent figure, it was revealed that one of two local counter-sniper teams was assigned to cover the building where the gunman was positioned. According to a source familiar with the investigation, this particular building was a designated post in the operational plan.

Having counter-sniper teams in place during high-profile events is a standard security measure to ensure the safety of individuals involved. These teams are trained to detect and neutralize potential threats from a distance, providing a crucial layer of protection.

In this specific incident, the presence of the counter-sniper team near the building where the gunman was located highlights the strategic planning that goes into security operations. By strategically placing teams in key positions, security personnel aim to minimize risks and respond effectively to any threats that may arise.

While the exact details of the operation and the actions taken by the counter-sniper team remain undisclosed, the fact that such teams were part of the security protocol underscores the importance of proactive security measures in high-risk situations.

As investigations into the attempted assassination continue, authorities will likely analyze the effectiveness of the security measures in place and identify any areas for improvement. Ensuring the safety of public figures and mitigating security threats requires constant evaluation and adaptation of security protocols.
