It's Tuesday, September 17.
On Monday, law enforcement officials offered a much fuller picture of what theyre describing as the attempted assassination of former President Trump in West Palm beach, the second such attempt on his life in just over two months.
According to a criminal complaint.
Cell phone data showed that the suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, had been lurking in the woods near Trumps golf course for roughly 12 hours, starting at around 02:00 a.m.
on Sunday morning.
Then, around 01:30 p.m.
as Trump began a round of golf, a Secret Service agent who was monitoring the perimeter of the golf course spotted what appeared to be the barrel of a rifle poking out from a line of trees.
Moments later, the agent fired in the direction of the rifle 130.
This afternoon, call came out, shots fired.
That was called in by the Secret.
