Trump Safe After Apparent Assassination Attempt In Florida

Sep 16 2024

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was safe after the Secret Service foiled an apparent assassination attempt while he was golfing in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Secret Service agents spotted and fired on a gunman, later reportedly identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, hiding in bushes near the course. The gunman fled, leaving behind an AK-47-style rifle and other items, but was apprehended shortly after.

This incident follows an earlier attempt on Trump’s life during a rally in Pennsylvania, where he sustained a minor ear injury.

The attack raises questions about the security measures for presidential candidates, especially given Trump’s non-officeholder status, which limits the extent of his protection.

Both Trump and his associates expressed gratitude for the Secret Service’s quick response. Law enforcement agencies have not confirmed Routh’s motive, but social media profiles linked to him suggest he supported Ukraine and criticised U.S. politicians, including President Joe Biden.

President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were briefed on the situation, with Harris condemning the violence. This comes as Trump and Harris face off in a highly polarised election, adding to concerns about candidate safety.
