FLORIDA- The FBI is investigating what it says was a likely assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida on Sunday, the second attempt on the former president's life since a lone shooter attempted to murder him at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania in July.

Trump's security fired at 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, who fled the scene in an SUV but was later apprehended. An AK-style assault rifle, a video and other criminal paraphernalia were purportedly confiscated. A Secret Service agent began firing shots after seeing a gun barrel sticking out of a fence. The suspect did not fire off any shots.

Trump is safe, and unharmed, at least physically, and some streets have been closed near his golf course near his Mar-a-Lago resort.

"[Former] President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity," Steven Cheung, Trump's campaign communications director, said in a brief initial statement. Both Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden were reportedly briefed over the incident, with Harris denouncing political violence outright and Biden saying he intends to issue an official statement after he gets more updates from law enforcement officials.

Sunday's alleged murder attempt on the former president comes as Trump and Harris will square off for the Nov 5., 2024 presidential election. Both have been crisscrossing battleground states in hopes of wooing voters as polls have Harris leading nationally, and either leading or gaining ground in key battleground states that have sought-after electoral college votes.

This is a continuing story.
