FBI investigating apparent assassination attempt on Trump

The FBI is investigating an apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his Florida golf club on Sunday. Trump is safe and was not harmed in the incident, his campaign said. It comes just two months after Trump survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Law enforcement sources on Sunday identified the person detained as a 58-year-old owner of a small construction company in Hawaii who frequently criticized Trump on social media.
The man was detained shortly after the Secret Service spotted a rifle barrel sticking through the fence of the golf course and agents fired at a man who was in the bushes along the perimeter.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris issued statements condemning political violence, adding that they will ensure that the Secret Service has all the resources necessary to protect the former president. - Reuters
