The FBI said Sunday it was “investigating what it said was an apparent assassination attempt” on Donald Trump at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s according to\u00a0CNN<\/a>, Ukrinform reports.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Secret Service agent noticed a rifle barrel with a scope sticking out of the fence. According to the agent, the attacker was as close as 300 to 500 yards (270 to 450 meters) to the ex-president. Law enforcers retrieved an AK-47 rifle on the site and the suspect was arrested while fleeing after a witness tipped law enforcers on the tags of the car the culprit was driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Joe Biden <\/a>commended the work of the Secret Service and law enforcement following the assassination attempt against Donald Trump, saying he was \u201crelieved\u201d to hear that Trump was unharmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA suspect is in custody, and I commend the work of the Secret Service and their law enforcement partners for their vigilance and their efforts to keep the former President and those around him safe. I am relieved that the former President is unharmed,\u201d Biden wrote in the statement. \u201cAs I have said many times, there is\u00a0no place for political violence\u00a0<\/a>or for any violence ever in our country, and I have directed my team to continue to ensure that Secret Service has every resource, capability and protective measure necessary to ensure the former President\u2019s continued safety.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris <\/a>reacted to the incident, saying she was glad Trump was safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I have been briefed on reports of gunshots fired near former President Trump and his property in Florida, and I am glad he is safe,” Harris wrote on X. “Violence has no place in America.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the attacker, who is now in custody, he is a self-employed affordable-housing builder in Hawaii, Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, who posted on social media about politics and current affairs, at times criticizing Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2002, Ryan Wesley Routh was arrested after he was pulled over by police and allegedly put his hand on a firearm and then drove and barricaded himself in a business, CNN learned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public records reveal several court cases involving Routh since the 1990s, including over failures to pay taxes on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryan Wesley Routh, who authorities suspect was planning to attack former President Donald Trump as he played a round of golf, expressed strong support for Ukraine in dozens of posts on X in 2022, saying he was willing to die in the fight and that \u201cwe need to burn the Kremlin to the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Routh then used his personal Facebook account last year to encourage foreigners to fight in the war. He tried to enlist Afghan conscripts in a flurry of posts, beginning in October 2023, presenting himself as an off-the-books liaison for the Ukrainian government.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
