Donald Trump safely escapes another ‘assassination attempt’ in Florida ahead of the November election.
According to Sky News, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agency has declared shooting at the International Golf Clunb in Florida as ‘an apparent assassination attempt’ on former President Donald Trump.
Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw told reporters that a Secret Service agent who was patrolling the course spotted a rifle barrel in the perimeter fence and ‘immediately engaged that individual, at which time the individual took off.’
A witness managed to take a photo of the black Nissan and its number plate as the alleged shooter fled the scene.

However, it is still unclear who fired first, the suspect or the Secret Service officers.
