It’s not really clear what happened here, even though I was off yesterday but I read the story, and it didn’t seem important enough to sign into work over.
Originally, it was claimed that the shooting happened at a bus stop a long way away from where Trump was. Then they said it was sniper fire on Trump.
It’s not really clearer today.
A suspect armed with an AK-style assault rifle was arrested near Donald Trump’s golf course in Florida on Sunday afternoon after what the FBI called “an attempted assassination of the former president”.
Law enforcement sources in Palm Beach county said the case unfolded as the Republican nominee for November’s presidential election was playing a round of golf at his Trump international course west of Palm Beach, where his Mar-a-Lago resort home is located.
Trump was “safe and unharmed” after US Secret Service agents opened fire after spotting a person with a firearm. A person was stopped and detained on Interstate 95 by deputies in Martin county, immediately north of Palm Beach county, soon afterwards.
The FBI and other law enforcement officials said the suspect had a scope on his rifle, a GoPro camera with which he apparently intended to record footage and a backpack with ceramic tile in it.
It said in a statement: “The FBI has responded to West Palm Beach Florida and is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination of former president Trump.”
Trump survived a previous assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July.
This could be a real kook or it could be staged or it could be totally unrelated.
Again, it was initially reported that the guy was not even firing at Trump, and Trump was never in any danger.
Maybe there will be more information, but right now, this is not a very important news story.
President Trump’s round of golf was NOT on any public schedule.
How did the suspect know Trump was golfing there today?
