The FBI said it is "investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination" of Donald Trump at his golf club in Florida. Trump was not harmed by the shooting, but according to the FBI he was the target.
The Secret Service had seen a rifle barrel sticking out of a fence, and agents fired at a man in the bushes along the perimeter. The suspect managed to get away and then his vehicle was stopped on the highway.
The person arrested is Ryan Wesley Routh and owns a small construction company in Hawaii. He had criticized Trump several times on social media.
Law enforcement found an AK-47-style rifle in his car, a GoPro camera and the backpack where he carried the weapons.
