The Nassau County Police Commissioner has officially stated that the allegations regarding the discovery of explosives at the rally site for former President Trump in Long Island are without merit. Commissioner Patrick Ryder emphasized that there is no credible evidence to support these claims, asserting that the reports circulating in the media are unfounded. He did mention, however, that an individual is currently under investigation, who may have been engaged in training a bomb detection dog in proximity to the event.
This clarification follows a report by journalist James Lalino, who indicated that a source within the Nassau County Police Department had informed him of the presence of explosives at the rally site. Lalino reported that the police had responded to a situation where the perimeter of the event was compromised, leading to the removal of a blue barrel from the vicinity. The situation escalated when it was alleged that during a K9 unit's inspection, an explosive device was discovered within one of the vehicles, prompting the driver to flee into nearby woods.
Eyewitness accounts suggest a chaotic scene as vehicles began to line up along Hempstead Turnpike, with many attendees parking on the grass and even in Eisenhower Park. The urgency of the situation was heightened by the sighting of the fleeing driver, whose actions raised concerns among law enforcement and event attendees alike. Despite the initial reports of explosives, the police have reassured the public that there is no immediate threat, and they continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
