Donald Trump issued a statement on Sunday night after a second assassination attempt against him. The event occurred while he was playing a round of golf at his Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida. The suspect was taken into custody and identified as Ryan Routh, a Democrat donor who said "democracy was on the ballot."
 

"I would like to thank everyone for your concern and well wishes," Trump said. "It was certainly an interesting day! Most importantly, I want to thank the U.S. Secret Service, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw and his Office of brave and dedicated Patriots, and, all of Law Enforcement, for the incredible job done today at Trump International in keeping me, as the 45th President of the United States, and the Republican Nominee in the upcoming Presidential Election, SAFE. THE JOB DONE WAS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. I AM VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!"

Shots rang out on Sunday afternoon while Trump was playing a round. It was reported that Secret Service agents fired on a man they believed had a gun. Trump was not harmed and was led off the course. This comes after an assassination attempt on his life in Butler, PA on July 13. One man was killed in addition to the suspect and two others were hospitalized.



Officers said during a press conference after the suspect was apprehended that the man had been in the "bushes" and that "an AK-47 style rifle with a scope, two backpacks which were hung on the fence that had ceramic tile in them, and a GoPro" had been found in the bushes." He was about 300-500 feet away from Trump.

Secret Service agents shot at the man but he fled. The local highway was shut down and he was stopped by officers and taken into custody. The FBI is investigating the incident as an assassination attempt.
