Former President Donald Trump expressed gratitude towards law enforcement for their swift response to what the FBI is investigating as an assassination attempt while he was golfing at Trump International in Palm Beach, Florida. The incident involved a suspect, identified as 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, who was reportedly armed with an AK-47-style rifle and was apprehended after Secret Service agents fired several shots at him when he was spotted from a distance.
