Former President Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt at his West Palm Beach golf course in Florida. The suspect, identified as 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh from Hawaii, was apprehended by the Secret Service after being seen with an AK-47-style rifle.
Routh, who has a criminal record and previously supported Trump's 2016 campaign, had recently expressed disappointment with Trump and shown strong support for Ukraine's war efforts. This incident follows a previous attempt on Trump's life in July, which resulted in the resignation of Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle.
Despite the close call, Trump was unharmed and remained in good spirits, thanking his security team and reassuring his supporters. The recurring security breaches have raised concerns among lawmakers, prompting calls for a thorough investigation into the lapses.
The FBI continues to investigate the motives behind Routh's actions.
