Suspect in custody after second attempted assassination of Donald Trump (Page 2 ) | September 16, 2024
Annonce:
Trump had been playing golf at the time, moving between holes five and six, a source briefed on the matter told CNN.
A Secret Service agent spotted a rifle barrel with a scope sticking out of the fence of the golf course and “immediately engaged” with the person, Bradshaw said.
The agent who spotted the rifle, Bradshaw said, is part of a team that stays a hole or two ahead of Trump on the course.
The person was 275 metres to 450 metres away from Trump, an official said.
The person fled the scene in a car and was spotted by a witness, which ultimately helped law enforcement officials locate the vehicle driving north on I-95 in Martin County, one county to the north of Palm Beach.
“We are able to catch a witness that came to us and said, ‘Hey, I saw the guy running out of the bushes, he jumped into a black Nissan and I took a picture of the vehicle and the tag,’ which was great,” Bradshaw said.
