What is a lone wolf attack?

Lone wolf attack, according to Wikipedia, “is a particular kind of mass murder, committed in a public setting by an individual who plans and commits the act on their own.”

This security situation at the upcoming India-Pakistan game was revealed to the media on Wednesday morning (Eastern Time) by Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder.

Nassau County gears up for the biggest security deployment in its history

“Every day, Nassau County, as well as other communities and cities and counties and towns throughout the United States, receive all kinds of threats. We take every threat seriously,” Blakeman was quoted as saying by CBS News. “To that end, we have taken many, many precautions. As well as making sure that the stadium and the surrounding Eisenhower Park are safe, the parking areas are safe, and the watch areas are safe, we also are adding 100 additional police officers to our normal staffing for the rest of the county, just as a precaution.”

The safest place to be in Nassau County on June 9 will be inside that stadium

One particular tip-off was about a potential lone wolf attack on the June 9 game, according to the report which attributed it to the police commissioner. “Everything is credible when you’ve got a game and a crowd as big as this. We will go through every fine detail regarding the security and safety of the residents here in Nassau County. I can guarantee you this is the largest security we’ve ever had to do in this county’s history. I can also guarantee you the safest place to be in Nassau County on June 9 will be inside that stadium,” Ryder said.
