Pasadena police say security for the 136th annual Rose Parade is at the highest level possible following a deadly attack on a crowd in New Orleans that left 10 people dead and many others injured.
Law enforcement agencies from across Southern California were already in place for the high-profile event. Pasadena police told ABC News that they are confident in the security for the event.
Officials added there was no known threat to the Pasadena event, but they will be on high alert throughout the day and the Rose Bowl game.
Meanwhile, organizers for the Tournament of Roses and the City of Pasadena extended condolences to the people of New Orleans where at least 10 people were killed by a driver who police say deliberately drove a pickup truck through a crowd of pedestrians on Bourbon Street.
“We extend our deepest sympathies to the people of Louisiana and the city of New Orleans following this morning’s tragic events,” the statement said. “We stand in solidarity with the entire state during this difficult time.”
