Suspected Assassination Attempt on Trump in Florida
News summary

Former President Donald Trump narrowly escaped a second assassination attempt on Sunday while golfing in Florida, following a previous shooting incident in Pennsylvania two months earlier. The Secret Service quickly intervened when they spotted the assailant, Ryan Wesley Routh, armed with an AK-style rifle, hiding near the golf course. This incident has intensified scrutiny over Trump's security protocols, with President Joe Biden emphasizing the need for increased Secret Service personnel. Trump attributed the hostile climate to the rhetoric from Democratic leaders, suggesting it incites violence against him. Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe defended the agency's response, noting that Trump has the highest level of protection, yet concerns persist about vulnerabilities during his off-schedule activities. Routh, who has a history of problematic behavior, is facing federal charges for the attempted attack.
