Trump safe after what FBI describes as apparent assassination attempt
SUMMARY: The FBI is investigating a second assassination attempt on former President Trump after gunshots were fired near him while he was golfing in West Palm Beach, Florida. Trump’s campaign confirmed he is safe, and Secret Service agents reportedly fired at a man with an AK-style rifle who posed a threat. The suspect fled but was later apprehended. Trump’s campaign sent out a fundraising email reassuring supporters of his safety. This incident follows a previous shooting at a campaign rally in July, which raised serious concerns about Secret Service protective measures, leading to the resignation of its director.
