Donald Trump Assassination Attempt: Before the presidential election in the US, an attempt has been made to kill former President Donald Trump once again. On Sunday, an attempt was made to kill him in Florida in which he narrowly escaped. In this entire case, a 58-year-old suspect has been arrested by Secret Service agents. According to the FBI, an AK47 style rifle has also been recovered from the scene, which had a scope and a Go Pro camera. A few weeks ago also, there was a deadly attack on Trump. During the attack in Pennsylvania, the suspect was killed on the spot. During this, the bullet had passed through Trump’s ear.
What was found from the scene
The attempt to attack Trump was made when he was playing golf. When Trump was on the golf ground, the ‘American Secret Service’ agent sitting hidden at some distance from there saw that a rifle barrel was visible from among the bushes at a distance of about 400 yards. Palm Beach County Sheriff Rick Bradshaw said an agent fired shots after which the gunman present there threw the rifle there and fled in an SUV. He said that along with the rifle, two backpacks, a telescope used for target practice and a camera were also found. Later the person was caught by the authorities.
What did Trump say?
After the attack, the former president said that he was safe and fine and a person has been arrested in this case. Trump said in an email sent to his supporters, “There were sounds of firing around me, but before the rumors get out of control, I want to tell you that I am safe and fine.” He wrote, “Nothing can stop me.”
What did Biden and Harris say
US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have been informed of the findings of the investigation in this matter. “There is no place for violence in America,” Harris said in a statement. Biden echoed the sentiment, saying he has directed his team to ensure the Secret Service has “every resource and capability necessary to ensure the safety and security of the former president.” Three law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press the man arrested was Ryan Routh.
