Yesterday, there was an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Here’s a quick summary of what’s known based on the information available:

  • Incident Details: While Trump was playing golf, Secret Service agents spotted a man with an AK-style rifle with a scope, leading to an engagement where the agents fired at the suspect. The incident occurred when the suspect allegedly pushed the muzzle of the rifle through a fence line near where Trump was playing.
  • Suspect: The individual identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, aged 58, was apprehended after fleeing the scene in an SUV. He was later detained by local law enforcement about 45 miles north of the golf course.
  • Response and Security: The Secret Service’s actions were in line with their protective protocols, despite Trump not being the sitting president, which slightly alters the security measures around him. The golf course was partially shut down during the event.
  • Aftermath: Trump was unharmed and was taken to safety. He later returned to his Mar-a-Lago resort. The FBI is leading the investigation, labeling it as an apparent assassination attempt.
  • Public and Political Reaction: There was relief expressed by various figures, including political leaders from both sides of the aisle, condemning the violence. Trump himself seemed to take the incident in stride, humorously mentioning his interrupted golf game.
  • Investigation: The incident has sparked discussions on security protocols for former presidents, especially those engaging in public life like Trump. The FBI, along with local law enforcement, is thoroughly investigating the event, including Routh’s background which shows involvement in supporting Ukrainian efforts against Russia.

“They were on the fifth hole, they were about to go up to putt,” Sean Hannity explained after some calls with Trump. “And …the way the president described it…was that they heard pop, pop, pop, pop.”

“Within seconds, the Secret Service pounced on the president, covered him,” he continued. “I have confirmed with both the president and with Mr. Witkoff (golf partner) that the gun has been found. They identified it as an AK-47.”

“The first thing the president did when he got back to the clubhouse was make sure that everybody else was okay,” he said. “Then, when the president found out everybody was safe and nobody had been harmed, I guess in typical fight, fight, fight fashion, Trump said to Steve, and then he relayed it to me, oh, I really wanted to finish the hole.”

“I was even, and I had a birdie putt, and it was on the fifth hole, which shows a lot of, I think, guts and gumption and very Trumpian, I guess, in every way.”

What are the odds? Look at the shooter!
