Golden Globes: Hollywood Celebrities Getting Extra Armed Protection, Snipers Following New Orleans Attack

Hollywood celebrities are reportedly getting extra armed protection for Sunday’s Golden Globes ceremony in Beverly Hills following the terrorist attack in New Orleans and the Tesla Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas last week.

Organizers are beefing up security for the stars — many of whom are vocal gun control activists — by rolling out more regional and federal personnel from the Los Angeles Sheriffs’ Department, FBI, and Homeland Security, according to a Deadline report. In addition, snipers will be placed in the vicinity of the Beverly Hilton hotel, another report from Inside Edition states.

Snipers are typically deployed during Hollywood awards shows, dating back decades. But it appears the armed presence will be greater than usual on Sunday.

The Beverly Hills Police Department will also beef up its presence.

A department spokesperson told Deadline they will continue “increased security measures, including staffing of officers, professional staff, and security contractors during this weekend’s Golden Globes.” (Read more from “Golden Globes: Hollywood Celebrities Getting Extra Armed Protection, Snipers Following New Orleans Attack” HERE)
