Second Apparent Assassination Attempt on Trump Raises Security Concerns
A second apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump has raised alarm over security protocols, with investigations ongoing into the suspect, Ryan Routh. Routh allegedly camped outside Trump's golf course for 12 hours prior to the incident, and evidence suggests he had a fascination with Ukraine and had expressed extremist views in the past. Trump described the attempt, noting he heard multiple shots and was quickly bundled into a golf cart for safety. The event has prompted Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to launch a state-level probe, while lawmakers are calling for enhanced Secret Service protection for Trump. Experts are analyzing the weapon used, initial reports indicate it was an SKS rifle, and the motivations behind the suspect's actions are under scrutiny. This incident comes in light of previous threats against Trump, with some critics pointing to a history of concerning behavior among those attempting to target him.
