Secret Service agents prevent Trump assassination attempt

A gunman was captured Sunday after apparently trying to shoot former President Donald Trump at a golf course in Florida.

Trump is OK, and no injuries were reported by authorities after Secret Service agents fired at the gunman they spotted in the bushes.

The Associated Press identified the suspect as Ryan Wesley Routh, citing three law enforcement officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

It was the LOCAL sheriffs department that apprehended the suspect and captured him, NOT the secret service!! Tell the complete truth please.

[driver]

Secret Service failed again. Citizens reported him.

[DavidLost-bk]

How did the shooter know that Trump would be there playing golf? There is a snitch among them!

[a..c..]

No THE SECRET SERVICE DID NOT, it was a local person who stopped it

[alanluscombea]

Idk what it is but there is some strange things going on around all of this

[Ali-cndu]

This is so fishy I can smell it from here...

[DarrylRuiz-sw]

Prevent? He should have never been allowed to get that closr

[nmr]

Preventing the attempt means you prevent it before they are actually in the commission of the attempt. Secret Service, you failed again!

[Cjax]

I don’t care for him as a president but this is NOT ok! No one in public office should have to deal with this. 😡

[bwro]

The NEW head of secret service needs to resign. His predecessor had to for an attempt. This one needs to go to.

[warrenrayledbetter]

Emphasis on "assault style weapon." Who cares if it was a slingshot or a cannon? The guy was armed!

[joetallon]

The secret service didn’t do s#’t, as usual!

[michelledabundo]

What the hell is wrong with humanity!? Stop the hate!!

[yagamerboichucc]

Someones trying to silence him, look at the higher powers at work not just the suspects.

[Hyperion]

Should be obvious to everyone now but I am sure people will pretend theres nothing strange about this at all!

[bigpump]

Smh leave that man alone if you dont like his plans then dont vote for him his life doesn't need to be taken...

[donjuandelanoootch]

😂😂😂😂😂 looks like the government is really getting rusty in the assassination department

[Cosmo__Kramer]

This shooter is the product of the "trumps a threat to democracy" narative .its on his social media

[scottdarden]

The suspect in custody will probably not be alive tomorrow 😢

[mariefraher]
