Second Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump

This afternoon, a significant security incident occurred at Donald Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, during his leisure time on the course. The Secret Service received a call at approximately 1:30 PM reporting gunfire as a man was spotted aiming a rifle through a fence around 400 yards from Trump, who was moving between the fifth and sixth holes. The man identified as Ryan Wesley Routh was seen concealing himself in the shrubbery, making it difficult for security to maintain constant visibility. While security personnel attempted to protect the former president, they were limited since he is not currently in office, resulting in reduced security measures. As the suspect fled the scene after agents fired shots, a witness helped police track the vehicle, leading to Routh's detainment on Interstate 95. He had a history of criminal charges, including firearm-related offenses, and authorities are reviewing his social media for potential threats. This incident follows a previous assassination attempt where another attacker opened fire during a campaign rally. The FBI is investigating these events as serious assassination attempts, shedding light on ongoing security risks faced by high-profile figures.
