Trump Safe After Gunshots at Florida Golf Course

On September 15, 2024, an incident occurred at the Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach in Florida, where former US President Donald Trump was playing golf. A Secret Service agent spotted a rifle barrel poking through a fence and opened fire on the suspect, who was later identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, a 58-year-old man. Routh was taken into custody by the sheriff's office after a traffic stop on I-95. The FBI is investigating the incident, which appears to be an attempted assassination of Trump. Trump's campaign quickly sent out an email to supporters, asking for more money, and the former president himself stated that he was "safe and well" and that "no one was hurt." The incident has sparked reactions from various politicians, including President Joe Biden and Trump's rival Kamala Harris, who expressed relief that Trump was unharmed. The suspect's motivations and potential ties to extremist groups are still unclear, with some reports suggesting that Routh was involved in efforts to get foreign fighters into Ukraine to battle against the Russian Army.
