The person falsely claimed to be a law enforcement officer.

“The US. Secret Service in coordination with local law enforcement in Glendale, Arizona, is investigating an individual who was observed exhibiting suspicious behavior at State Farm Stadium,” Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi told the media.

An armed individual was detained by the U.S. Secret Service at State Farm Stadium in Arizona on Friday. The incident occurred during a memorial service being held at the venue for conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

The person in question reportedly claimed to be a law enforcement officer, but that claim was later determined to be false. This raised immediate concern among security personnel on the scene.

Secret Service agents, working in coordination with local law enforcement in Glendale, responded quickly to the situation. The individual had been exhibiting what authorities described as “suspicious behavior,” prompting further investigation.

Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi provided a brief statement to the media. He confirmed that the agency is actively investigating the matter and coordinating efforts with local authorities.

The security presence at the event was already heightened due to its high-profile nature. The quick response ensured that the situation was handled without disruption to the memorial service or any reported injuries.
