Secret Service Investigating

The US Secret Service is continuing its investigation into the person who placed a classified ad in the Warren Times Observer newspaper insinuating that he wanted President Obama to be assassinated.

The Secret Service didn't identify the person, but did say it's a man.

Secret Service spokesman Jim Mackin says it's an ongoing investigation and anything that could be considered a possible threat against the president is taken seriously.

The ad said, "May Obama follow in the footsteps of Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy!" Representatives of the newspaper say the person who took the ad didn't make the connection that the four presidents had been assassinated.

The newspaper has apologized and did contact police.
