News summary

A second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump occurred at Trump International Golf Club in Florida, where the shooter, identified as 58-year-old Ryan Routh, was apprehended after firing shots near Trump. Security experts have raised concerns about the challenges of protecting public figures in open areas like golf courses, where potential attackers can easily conceal their approach. The U.S. Secret Service responded effectively, with agents engaging Routh, who was armed with an AK-47-style rifle and positioned 300 to 500 yards away. Despite the incident, Trump remained unharmed, and his campaign praised the Secret Service's quick action. This incident has sparked renewed scrutiny of security protocols as the election campaign intensifies, highlighting vulnerabilities in safeguarding candidates. The lack of a clear motive for Routh's actions adds to the complexity of the situation.
