CHICAGO, July 21 (Xinhua) -- Members of the U.S. Secret Service have been conducting exercises in helicopters over Chicago in preparation for President Barack Obama's visit on Thursday, officials said Tuesday.
Obama is scheduled to attend a dinner with political supporters and a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee, his first political event in his hometown Chicago since his election last fall.
Jennifer Martinez, a spokeswoman for the Office of Emergency Management, said the military helicopters that have many Chicagoans wondering what's going on are connected to Obama's impending visit.
Residents in Chicago have reported seeing a number of military helicopters along the lakefront and over some nearby suburbs on Tuesday noon.
