The incident occurred 64 days after a previous assassination attempt on Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in which Trump was shot in his right ear.

Details about the Sept. 15 Shooting
The incident occurred at 1:30 p.m. EDT, while Trump was golfing with friend Steve Witkoff. A man was seen aiming a rifle on the golf course by Secret Service agents. The man was hiding in a shrub about 500 yards away and the agents shot at the man, who dropped his weapon and fled in a car. 
An AK-47-style rifle with a scope, two backpacks, and a GoPro camera were recovered from the scene.
A person of interest was detained while he was driving a vehicle, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
According to CNN, Ryan Wesley Routh, the arrested suspect, expressed strong support for Ukraine in dozens of posts on X in 2022, and said he was willing to die in the fight and “we need to burn the Kremlin to the ground.” “I AM WILLING TO FLY TO KRAKOW AND GO TO THE BORDER OF UKRAINE TO VOLUNTEER AND FIGHT AND DIE…Can I be the example We must win,” Routh said in an X post in March 2022.
The suspect was identified by three law enforcement officials as a 58-year-old man.
The White House released a statement from President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris responded on X.
