Another attack on Trump?

Comment

Former President Donald Trump was hurried to safety on the 15th of September, Sunday after the FBI declaration of an apparent assassination attempt at Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach.

The incident happened exactly two months after a shooting at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, leaving Trump injured and a supporter dead.

Details are still being viewed from the latest incident, and the suspect, named Ryan Routh, by the US Media.

The incident unraveled at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, about 15 minutes from Trump’s Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago.

The Secret Service agents were the first ones to witness the gunman while they were sweeping the course ahead of the former president as he played. The agents mostly go one hole ahead to perform security checks, according to police.

The snout of a rifle – initially described as an AK-47-style rifle by County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw – was spotted sticking through the grounded cover that lines the course. Trump was about 300-500 yards (272-557m) away from the gunman at that time, he mentioned.

An agent “immediately bemused” with the person who held the rifle, later dimmed away, Sheriff Bradshaw said.

“The Secret Service exactly reacted the correct way as they needed to.” The suspect dropped the rifle and fled in a vehicle, wallowing the weapon along with two knapsacks, a scope used for aiming the weapon, and a GoPro camera, Sheriff Bradshaw said.

“I would like to thank everyone for your concern and well wishes – It was certainly an interesting day!” Trump further thanked the Secret Service agent and the police on social media for keeping him safe and sound.

CNN, Fox News and The New York Times identified the suspect as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, of Hawaii, citing unidentified law enforcement officials.
