Trump assassination attempt: Who is alleged suspect Ryan Routh?
SUMMARY: The US Secret Service has reported another assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, with a suspect in custody. Questions arise regarding security measures, particularly at the golf course where the incident occurred. A Secret Service agent reportedly spotted the weapon and intervened before any harm was done. The event‘s closed nature differed from the first attempt in Pennsylvania, leading to discussions about the effectiveness of security protocols for former presidents. The suspect, 58-year-old Ryan Ralph, from Hawaii, has a mixed political background, and investigations into both incidents are ongoing as Trump continues his campaign.
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested Sunday after allegedly pushing the muzzle of an AK-47 through the chainlink fence outside of where former President Donald Trump was golfing in south Florida. Trump was not injured during the incident, and was safely escorted away from the area, officials and the campaign reported Sunday.
