The FBI is investigating an attempted assassination of former President Trump while he was golfing in West Palm Beach. Secret Service agents detected an armed man hiding near the course, leading to an exchange of gunfire before the suspect fled but was later apprehended. The suspect, identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, had previously volunteered as a fighter in Ukraine against Russia, raising concerns about his motives and mental state. A rifle, camera, and backpacks were found at the scene, but it remains uncertain if the suspect fired any shots.
