Source: UPDATE 1-Trump Is Safe Following Gunshots in His Vicinity, Says Campaign | Newsmax.com
The FBI said Sunday it was investigating “what appears to be an attempted assassination” of Donald Trump at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, just nine weeks after the Republican presidential nominee survived another attempt on his life. Trump said he was safe and well.
Fox News reported the suspect’s name is Ryan Wesley Routh.
The U.S. Secret Service opened fire at a man pointing an AK-style rifle into the club as Trump was on the course, three law enforcement officials said. The person dropped the weapon and fled in an SUV, and was later taken into custody in a neighboring county. The officials were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
An AK-style firearm was recovered at the scene near Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach, two of the officials said. And no injuries were reported.
The incident was the latest jarring moment in a campaign year marked by unprecedented upheaval. It occurred roughly two months after Trump was shot during an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania, and a bullet grazed his ear. Only a week later, President Joe Biden withdrew from the race.
In an email to supporters, Trump said: “There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!”
“Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER!” the former president said.
联邦调查局周日表示，正在调查唐纳德·特朗普在佛罗里达州西棕榈滩的高尔夫俱乐部发生的“似乎是一起未遂暗杀事件”，而就在九周前，这位共和党总统候选人在另一次刺杀行动中幸存下来。特朗普表示他很安全，身体状况良好。 福克斯新闻报道，嫌疑人的名字是瑞安·韦斯利·劳斯。 三名执法官员称，特朗普在球场上时，美国特勤局向一名用 AK 型步枪指着俱乐部的男子开枪。该人扔下武器并乘坐一辆SUV逃跑，随后在邻近县被拘留。这些官员无权讨论正在进行的调查，并以匿名方式接受美联社采访。 两名官员表示，在西棕榈滩特朗普国际高尔夫俱乐部附近的现场发现了一把 AK 型枪支。没有人员受伤的报道。 这一事件是这场前所未有的动荡的竞选年中最新的一个令人震惊的时刻。大约两个月前，特朗普在宾夕法尼亚州的一次集会上遭到暗杀，子弹擦伤了他的耳朵。仅一周后，乔·拜登总统退出竞选。 特朗普在给支持者的一封电子邮件中说：“我附近有枪声，但在谣言开始失控之前，我希望你们先听听：我很安全，一切都很好！” 前总统说，“没有什么能让我放慢脚步。我绝对不会投降！”
