Gov. Scott Walker says increased public vigilance is key to stopping terrorists like the shooter who killed 49 people in an Orlando gay club on Sunday.
Speaking to reporters on a conference call from Mexico, Walker said it’s also important for government agencies to work together to find threats.
“The biggest issue for us is just trying to figure out how do we work together?” Walker said. “How does the federal, state, local officials work together with the public as a whole to try and identify concerns in advance and prevent them from happening.”
