Trump assassination in West Palm Beach

Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was apprehended after attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump at Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. Routh, equipped with an AK-47 style rifle, had waited in the bushes for nearly 12 hours before being spotted by a Secret Service agent who opened fire, prompting Routh to flee. Authorities are investigating his motives, methods, and whether he acted alone. Routh, previously a supporter of Trump, had grown disillusioned with him and had also expressed support for Ukraine. He faces federal gun charges and more charges are expected. This incident follows a previous assassination attempt on Trump two months prior, raising significant security concerns.
