Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt Sunday at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, according to the FBI. Just weeks after surviving another similar incident, Trump assured the public he was safe and well, as authorities detained a suspect.
Secret Service agents identified a gunman with an AK-style rifle on the perimeter of the course, roughly 400 yards from Trump. After a brief pursuit, the suspect was arrested with multiple items, including a GoPro camera and a scope for aiming. This incident marks another shocking event in a year marked by significant upheaval.
Trump's campaign schedule remained uncertain following the event, but he planned to engage with supporters in upcoming events. His running mate JD Vance expressed relief over Trump's safety, while the White House also conveyed their concern and relief over the situation.
