“We’re investigating ‘apparent ass@sin@tion attempt’ on Donald Trump” — FBI reveals

• The FBI announced that an investigation is currently underway.

• Secret Service agents reportedly spotted and fired on a man in bushes near Trump’s golf course property line, a few hundred yards from where Trump was playing.

• The suspect, who left an AK-47-style assault rifle and other items at the scene, fled in a vehicle but was later arrested.

An assassination attempt targeting Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump occurred on Sunday, September 15, while he was engaged in golfing at his course in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The FBI announced this incident in a statement on the same day, indicating that an investigation is currently underway.

According to law enforcement officials, Secret Service agents observed and fired upon an armed individual concealed in the bushes near the golf course’s property line, situated a few hundred yards from Trump’s location.

The assailant abandoned an AK-47-style assault rifle and other items at the scene before fleeing in a vehicle, but was subsequently apprehended.

This incident follows closely on the heels of a shooting at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania two months prior, where Trump sustained a minor injury to his right ear.

The individual involved has been identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, from Hawaii, as reported by CNN.
