West Palm Beach: An apparent attempt to assassinate former president Donald Trump as he played golf in Florida has rocked a presidential campaign already marred by violence and raised questions about how such a thing could have happened for the second time in as many months.
US Secret Service agents opened fire Sunday afternoon (Monday morning AEST) on a man who was spotted pointing an AK-style rifle through a fence while hiding in the bushes as Trump golfed at his club in West Palm Beach. The FBI described it as an apparent attempted assassination on the Republican nominee.
