On Sunday, September 15, 2024, an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump was prevented by quick-thinking Secret Service agents while Trump was playing golf at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. The suspect, identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, was spotted hiding in nearby bushes with an AK-47-style rifle, approximately 400 yards from Trump's location.
After agents fired at the suspect, he fled the scene in a black Nissan. Thanks to a witness capturing a photo of the car, authorities quickly apprehended Routh on Interstate 95. The suspect had left behind an array of equipment, including a rifle, a GoPro camera, and ceramic tiles, indicating a plan to document the attack.
The FBI has confirmed they are treating the case as an attempted assassination, marking the second such incident targeting Trump in recent months. Trump, who was unharmed, praised the Secret Service's efforts and assured supporters that the incident would not deter his future plans. Public figures, including President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, expressed their condemnation of political violence and relief that Trump was safe.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the motive behind the attack, and charges are expected to be filed soon.
