New ‘assassination attempt’ against Trump: LIVE UPDATES
US Secret Service agents have engaged an armed man at a Florida golf course
The FBI is treating a shooting incident at Trump International Golf Club in Florida as an assassination attempt against former US President and Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Federal agents are investigating “what appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Trump,” the FBI confirmed on Sunday.
The incident occurred shortly before 2pm local time, when a Secret Service agent spotted a rifle barrel sticking through a fence surrounding the resort.
The agent “engaged” with the threat, firing four to six rounds, according to West Palm Beach Sheriff Ric Bradshaw. The suspect fled the scene, but was later arrested.
The person detained is Ryan Wesley Routh, according to three law enforcement sources, cited by the media. Routh owns a small construction company in Hawaii and had repeatedly criticized Trump on social media.
