in need of federal protection as well....Robert Kennedy Jr reportedly faced an assassination scare after a heavily armed man posing as his security entered his campaign event on Friday. The suspect was allegedly carrying two holstered weapons and a US Marshals badge when he entered the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles. He was wearing protective gear and had two spare ammunition magazines in his possession, it has been reported. He reportedly claimed he was part of Kennedy’s security detail when Federal ID approached him. Los Angeles Police later confirmed that a man was arrested for posing as a federal agent. Now, the unnamed man is likely to be charged with impersonating a police officer or federal agent and possibly unlawful possession of firearms. Kennedy wrote in a social media post: "I’m very grateful that alert and fast-acting protectors from Gavin de Becker and Associates (GDBA) spotted and detained an armed man who attempted to approach me at my Hispanic Heritage speech at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles tonight. "The man, wearing two shoulder holsters with loaded pistols and spare ammunition magazines was carrying a U.S. Marshal badge on a lanyard and beltclip federal ID. "He identified himself as a member of my security detail. Armed GDBA team members moved quickly to isolate and detain the man until LAPD arrived to make the arrest. I’m also grateful to LAPD for its rapid response."
