Suspect in Custody After Another Apparent Assassination Attempt Against Trump

HeadlineSep 16, 2024

A 58-year-old man has been arrested in Florida as part of what the FBI believes was an attempted assassination of Donald Trump at his golf club in West Palm Beach. A Secret Service agent fired shots Sunday after seeing an armed man hiding in the bushes about 300 to 500 yards from where the former president was playing golf. The suspect, Ryan Routh, was later detained. An AK-47 was found at the spot where he had been hiding in the bushes.

Routh has been described as a former Trump voter who traveled to Ukraine last year to help recruit foreigners to fight against Russia. In 2002, he was charged with possession of a weapon of mass destruction. Sunday’s incident came two months after a gunman’s fired a shot that grazed Trump’s ear at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
