In a post on X, he stated, \u201cThe State of Florida will be conducting its own investigation regarding the attempted assassination at Trump International Golf Club. The public deserves to know the truth about the would-be assassin and how he managed to get within 500 yards of both the former president and current GOP nominee.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw reported that Trump was located between 300 and 500 yards from the armed suspect when a Secret Service agent intervened. He praised the Secret Service for their response, saying their agent acted appropriately. According to USA Today, Ryan Routh, 58, has been identified as the suspect by David Aronberg, Palm Beach County&#8217;s state attorney.<\/p>\n<p>Bradshaw explained that Trump International Golf Course is surrounded by dense shrubbery which limits visibility: \u201cWhen somebody gets into the shrubbery, they\u2019re pretty much out of sight.\u201d He noted that since Trump is no longer a sitting president, security measures are restricted to areas deemed secure by Secret Service agents. He suggested that future visits might see increased security around golf courses.<\/p>\n<p>The incident occurred while Trump was playing between holes five and six. A Secret Service agent noticed a rifle barrel with a scope protruding from behind a fence; this agent was part of an advance team monitoring Trump&#8217;s play. A witness played a crucial role in Routh\u2019s apprehension by reporting seeing him flee into a black Nissan and providing photographic evidence of the vehicle&#8217;s license plate.<\/p>\n<p>Routh was subsequently arrested by Martin County Sheriff&#8217;s Office after being identified as fleeing from the scene by this witness<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2341727,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ron-and-don.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[34943,4980,5894,3634],"class_list":["post-2341726","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-assassination-attempt","tag-desantis","tag-politics","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ron-and-don.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2341726","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2341726"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2341726\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2341727"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2341726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2341726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2341726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
