US fighter jet intercepts aircraft near Trump rally, deploying signal flares


(CNN) An aircraft entered restricted air space over President Donald Trump's rally in Bullhead City, Arizona, on Wednesday, leading to a fighter jet being scrambled to intercept it. "The violating aircraft was non-responsive to initial intercept procedures, but established radio communications after NORAD aircraft deployed signal flares," Cornelio said. "The violating aircraft was escorted out of the restricted area by the NORAD aircraft without further incident." A Secret Service spokesperson said Trump was not in danger during the incident and said further investigation is ongoing. Trump's rally in Arizona came as part of a final sprint of campaign events leading up to Election Day to shore up states he won four years ago.
