Donald Trump has praised the Secret Service and law enforcement following an apparent assassination attempt against the former president at one of his golf courses in Florida.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump thanked those who have expressed their concerns following the “interesting day” at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach on Sunday.
A suspect, identified as Ryan Routh, has been detained after Secret Service agents spotted a rifle poking out of a bush at the golf course. The agents were sweeping the area, and were one hole ahead of the former president as he was playing golf, police said.
Agents opened fire at the suspected gunman, who fled the scene before later being apprehended. The suspect did not fire at Trump, and the former president was unharmed during the incident.
“I would like to thank everyone for your concern and well wishes – It was certainly an interesting day,” Trump wrote on social media.
“Most importantly, I want to thank the U.S. Secret Service, [Palm Beach County] Sheriff Ric Bradshaw and his Office of brave and dedicated Patriots, and, all of Law Enforcement, for the incredible job done today at Trump International in keeping me, as the 45th President of the United States, and the Republican Nominee in the upcoming Presidential Election, SAFE. THE JOB DONE WAS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. I AM VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!”
The FBI on Sunday said it was joining the investigation into the incident.
“The FBI has responded to West Palm Beach Florida and is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Trump,” the agency told Newsweek.
