FBI investigating attempted assassination of Trump at golf club

Trump campaign says former president is safe, back home at Mar-a-Lago

Updated on Sept. 15 at 5:20 p.m. ET: Sheriff Ric Bradshaw of Palm Beach County held a joint press conference with FBI and Secret Service officials Sunday, hours after a man attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump at his golf course in Florida. 

Bradshaw said at the briefing held just before 5 p.m. Eastern time that Secret Service issued a call of shots fired at 1:30 p.m. at Trump International Golf Club when an agent shot at an attempted assassin brandishing an AK-47 in the bushes at a fence line surrounding the golf course.

The Secret Service agent, who was part of an advance team securing the area one or two holes ahead of the president, spotted the muzzle of a rifle and fired shots at the gunman, who was between 300 to 500 yards away from Trump, according to Bradshaw. Given the gunman’s location, he had a clear line of sight of the fifth, sixth and seventh holes, the sheriff added. 

Bradshaw said law enforcement agencies were aided by a witness who also saw the suspect and identified the gunman and getaway vehicle as a black Nissan. The witness also took a photo of the vehicle’s license plate. Soon after, Martin County police pulled the driver over on I-95 and took the suspect into custody. 

“After that, we took the witness that witnessed the incident, flew him up there [to the county jail], and he identified [the suspect] as the person who he saw running out of the bushes that jumped in the car,” Bradshaw added.   

“Now, in the bushes where this guy was, is an AK-47-style rifle with a scope, two backpacks which were hung on the fence that had ceramic tile in them, and a Go-Pro” which he was going to use to take video, the sheriff added.
