West Palm Beach, FL – September 15, 2024
On September 15, 2024, in West Palm Beach, Florida, the FBI confirmed that there was an apparent attempt to assassinate Donald Trump at his golf club, only two months after a previous assassination attempt. Fortunately, Trump was unharmed and safe.
The suspect has been identified as Ryan Wesley Routh.
During the incident, the U.S. Secret Service intervened when a man pointed an AK-style rifle towards the club while Trump was on the premises. The individual quickly dropped the weapon, escaped in a SUV, but was later apprehended in a nearby county. The authorities, who preferred to remain anonymous, provided this information to The Associated Press.
