Moment. Today's attempt occurred as the former president and a donor were golfing at his club in west palm beach, florida. Specifically, authorities say they were walking between holes five and six which we're going to show you on a map the palm beach county sheriff's office says it received calls of shots fired by the secret service at about 1:30 p. M. Secret service spotted the engagement. They've now detained as an agent was walking the course ahead of the former president agent that was all the course did a fantastic job. What they do is they have an agent that jumps one whole ahead of time toward a president was at and he was able to spot this rifle barrow sticking out of the fits and immediately engaged that individual at which time the individual took off well, authorities say that a secret service agent fired at the man. Unclear at this moment whether the man they've detained fired any shots. The man was later apprehended after help from a witness. This who saw the person drive away. Now authorities released some photos. These photos earlier today of what they say was found in the bushes where the man was seen. An ak47 style rifle to backpacks, and a gopro video camera. Sharp bradshaw told reporters today that the man they've detained was about 400 to 500 yards away from the former president when he was spotted whoever he said that with the rifle and the scope quote, that's not a long distance. The former president or later said in a fundraising email that he is safe and well, we've got a team of reporters on this tracking all of it for us tonight. I want to bring in first kristen holmes, who has been in contact with the trump campaign tonight so kristen trump's campaign managers releasing bladder after this apparent assassination attempts targeting donald trump, what are they saying yeah, that's right. They're reaching out to stuff similar to what we saw after the first assassination attempt in butler, pennsylvania. This comes from the campaign managers, chris lacivita and susie wiles. I'm going to read you part of what they sent to their staff today. It says today for the second time in two months in evil monster attempted to take the life of president trump. Thankfully, no one was injured at the golf course. This is not a matter that we take lightly. Your safety is always top priority. We ask that you remain vigilant and your daily comings and goings be observant, maintain a constant level of situational awareness now, when it comes to what the campaign is doing, we know shortly after this now i'll second appearance of an assassination attempt. They did locked down the west palm beach campaign headquarters for quite some time. They opened it back up. That's something we also saw after the first attack nation attempt in butler, pennsylvania and multiple of those various campaign offices across the country were shut down, were put on lockdown and staff was told not to go in just in terms of what is coming out of the campaign. Like questions, they have a lot that they are still trying to figure out why they still don't have all the details as to how this happened. You're looking at pictures of the golf course now this is about 15 minutes from his maralago home. He was there apparently, according to one source, it was alaska i'm going to decision that he wanted to play golf. A lot of questions as to how exactly this suspect would have known where donald trump was at this time when several of his advisors and allies, people i spoke to today on the phone, did not even know that he was in maralago or specifically that he was going to be playing golf today? reminder it is credibly hot in florida and it's not something that he does every single day when he's down there during this time of year, as you noted, he was down there with a donor and an ally, steve witkoff, who was on the golf course with him and just one security note here talking to his various campaign advisors and allies, people who have spoken to him in recent hours, there is a sense of celebration in terms of the secret services actions and engaging with ms potential shooter this potential suspect. I remember there was a lot of questions around the first assassination attempt as to why the secret service did not engage quicker. Now we know that donald trump was being in front of excuse he's been in front of donald trump was what they called essentially an advanced secret service team. They were the ones who are about a whole are more ahead of donald trump on the golf course, who noticed that rifle and engage shooting, putting out shots towards that suspect. So that part, there is a lot of their very happy with the way that that response happened, but there's still are a lot of questions as to how exactly this happened, how this man was able to get so close on the property and particularly as to how exactly this man would have known where donald trump was and the timing of all of this, i'm sure we will learn more details as doherty is learn more details. But right now, those are some of the biggest question because as we have that they have, as we move into this next chapter of the campaign. I mean, really is remarkable, anderson, that we are, as you said, looking at the second assassination attempt in the same number of months kristen, just unclear i mean, you said the golf course is a short drive away from maralago if somebody a civilian wanted to hang around outside the golf course or somewhere between maralago on the golf course? golf course to ascertain the movements of the former president would that be possible for them to do if they were a loitering in the area? yes. You know, again, we don't know how this person right. Figured out where were the former give you a layout of how exactly security is right now at maralago, since that first assassination attempt in butler, pennsylvania, several of the roads are closed around the maralago resort. So it's not entirely possible to set up and watch from nearby the maralago resort itself, just because of these road closures that they put into place because of this for assassination attempt. There's even some highway exits that are closed off at various points when donald trump is in town, which of course obviously he was now that doesn't mean that people couldn't potentially spot the motorcade traveling. It. He now travels with a full motorcade. It wasn't always the case before the first is as a nation attempt that includes a large van that includes generally a cat team counter assault team. It also includes an ambulance that is not something that is generally given to a former president, but they have beefed up the security around him so it's there's potential there that someone could have spotted the motorcade driving along various routes in west palm beach, keeping track his movements that way. Obviously, the other thing we know is a donald trump flies in a very branded plane that is put onto the tarmac pretty front and center and palm beach, you can see it from the side were driven there myself around the side of the private air force air airport area where he lands up playing. You can see it from the road. So there are obviously indications that you would know he was in town, that you could know his potential movements it would have to be someone who is paying very close attention. Another reminder here is the fact that he is a former u. S. President, not a sitting us president, which means that he doesn't put out a schedule. He doesn't have to have any sort of daily schedule. And on top of that, he doesn't travel with a press pool, so it's not as though any reporters are hundred percent aware of where he is at all times that we know who he's playing golf with the way we would with a sitting president, they released those names generally, they released if he's going to play golf, none of that would be something that would be information that needs to be disclosed with a former former president so all of this to say that yes, of course, there are potential ways that someone could surveil the former president, but it would have to be would be more difficult given a scenario, given the street closures, given the expanded security, and just the fact that he doesn't have this public information that has easily accessible to any civilian, right? kristen holmes. Thanks. We'll check in with you shortly. Evan perez is following the investigation for as it progresses tonight. So what are you hearing from law enforcement about this person who is detained, right? right now well, anderson, we know a lot about ryan route in part because he seems to be very, very active on social media. I'll start with what we have heard officially from law enforcement. There was a press conference this afternoon with the sheriff, ric bradshaw, and he said that this person the person that's with that, brian route, who is under arrest is as someone obviously, they believe is connected in some way to the shooting. They did not name him or identify the suspect in the shooting, but that's what we're told is a situation at this at this point, they arrested him. This afternoon as soon up several miles north of palm beach county, there after he had fled. Now, what happened was there was a witness who saw him reached go, run to a car and flee the scene after the secret service had fired these shots. Now what the secret service says is that they saw an agent saw a a rifle barrel sticking out from near the bushes and they fired shots in that direction. We don't know if he was struck. It appears that he may not have been, but what they found there at the scene was a backpack. They found a gopro camera which appeared part of his intent was to film his attempted assassination of the former president. And of course they've also found an ak47 variant there at the scene. Now, we've learned a lot more from some of his social media anderson, you he's very active supporting ukraine, obviously, and he's also been very, very critical of donald trump one point why didn't one of his social media postings he copied president joe biden's social media account and called the maga movement, the former president's maga movement as massa, which is make america, make america slaves again. That's one of the comments he has on one of his social media. He's a he owns a ford housing company in alaska. I'm sorry, in hawaii. And is believed to be cited selfemployed. Now, we did one of our reporters did talk to his son, anderson this evening, and i'll read you just a part of what this person's his son, whose name is oren said in defense of his father. He says he believes is he hopes that everything has just been blown out of proportion. It is not like my father to do anything crazy much less violent. He says, he is obviously he doesn't know everything that happened in florida but it doesn't sound like the man i know to do anything crazy, much less violent. He's a good father and a great man. And i hope you can portray him in an honest life. Obviously a lot more information is going to emerge about route in the next couple of days, anderson, it's probably going to be facing federal charges perhaps as soon as tomorrow. He's now obviously being held by the by the palm beach county sheriff. And the fbi is investigating one of the things that they're looking into, our those social media posts, which might give us obviously a motive as to why he carried out or attempted to carry out this assassination is a parent attempted assassination according to the fbi, anderson, evan perez, stay with us. I want to bring in just a few more focused and you'll brunner, a retired fbi supervisory special agent, juliette kayyem is a cnn senior national security analyst juliette, let me just start off with you just in terms of there's a lot we do not know i mean, i think in a situation like that, there's what we know and what we don't know. Can you just tick off the things which we don't know at this stage, which obviously investigators will be trying to find out. Top of the list okay, so we'll start with motive. Obviously we're trying to determine it, but he he he lived out loud. So presumably through social media and colleagues and others, we will determine that or two, we don't know right now now how he determined that today would possibly be available to him to do this assassination. I'm looking at what i see now he's he made a mistake, but he was not unsophisticated. This is a very sophisticated attempted assassination. He's got defensive gear, he's got the gopro. He wanted this to be a performative assassination so how did he know and how did he acquire that knowledge where trump was? then then third is access to being so close. We were all familiar with security perimeters now because we have gone through this just a few months ago in butler, pennsylvania the area was not part of the security perimeter because it was not a public event. And how did he get there? how did the car remain there? those are the questions i have. This was a great act by the secret service agent who took advantage of his mistake because he was doing his his rifle and the closeness by which there are election are democracy and donald trump. All change it's just, it's not reassuring honestly. Daniel. There's been concerned course before, about trump on a golf course which is you know, open to public members and he's clearly been photographed on it. We've seen him on it before and people seem to have access to him on the golf links. I'm wondering how how difficult to challenge a golf course is and now that the fbi has taken over the investigation, what do what is their top priority right now anderson, those are great questions and one of the biggest problems that throughout history as president's love to golf is securing the golf course. Obviously president trump is a former president. He's not the president or vice president current sitting. So it gets a different theater or of coverage from the secret service. Whereas a sitting president or a sitting vice president will get an additional coverage surrounding the area it's very difficult to protect that area, that golf course because of the roads that are out there surrounding the golf course very slick roads. But there's a lot of questions that need to be answered how did this vehicle that was parked there? how did it not get seen? with such proximity to the sheriff's office, which is right down the road he was parked there and a law, how long he was in the bushes, how long these are these are the sorts of questions that the fbi, their investigation is going to be doing. It's two parts of the secret service, analyzing what could be done or what may have been addressed differently. And then the fbi is going to be an investigation of why what his motivation since we're what he was doing, how long he was in the bushes. There's a tremendous amount of electronic evidence here. He's very active on social media. He was very active doing interviews, being on the social media network. He was very vocal. So there's going to be a tremendous amount of electronic data that the fbi is going to be able to collect. And the agents are going to be able to analyze it. The evidence left on scene that's going to be tremendous. The gopro the ballistic plates, the weapon atf, i'm sure will be involved in finding out where the with the ak47 was obtained, how he obtained it, and what training he did. So there's a lot of questions that both secret service and the fbi are gonna be investigating. And the fbi will come to a conclusion and finding out where these gaps were evin the evidence there was at the scene, including those ceramic tiles which are hanging in the backpacks on the fence and the gopro it certainly seems to indicate and i heard somebody earlier on on on television the theorizing that he was going to take the ceramic plates out and put them on himself. It seems to me just from that, it looks like he's creating blockage essentially from any incoming fire it seemed to me and maybe i'm totally wrong that he wouldn't waste time taking those plates out, putting them on into a vest around them that he's using. He seems like he was set up to use those as a shield because those ceramic plates, as we all know, those are for that for rifle fire, it's not just it's not just for pistol fire. Right. Anderson, i think one of the things that obviously this is going to be part of the investigation. But what what is suggests as you pointed out, is that look, he knows exactly what happens once you fire shots, right? if he were able to fire off a shutdown at this point, it does not appear that he was able to fire a shot, but he knows that if he does, that immediately brings gunfire from the protective detail. And so he was trying to figure out a way this suggests anderson for a way for him to be able to survive those first rounds. And perhaps fire get more shots out. Now, the variant of the ak47 when that he had, he had a scope it is possible that he could have been able to get to the former president, especially as the former president was coming towards him the distance according to the police, was about 300 to 500 yards. And so, you the closer the former president and gaetz and because of the van and each point of where the person was it is possible that just a little while longer waiting there. The former president would have been within the distance to be able to be struck by a bullet. And so that's what's so scary about this particular situation. And as you pointed out, anderson this person seemed to at least be prepared enough to be able to survive those first initial response shots from the secret service. If he had been able to fire a shot, julia, if it's true that he was scouting out this location and trying to figure out when the former president might be there. And again, we don't know how he pick this location and how long he may have been in the area. But if he had been in the area for a while, i would assume part of what law enforcement is doing now is looking at cameras all over this place, this entire area for any sign of his pickup truck, for any sign of him over the last hours, days, weeks and then that's exactly what what needs to be pinpointed when did he leave his last known residency in terms of where he was and how did he get to florida, presumably, his daughter's car, which we now know that it was her car. And then how long was he there and then the question i have is how many times during that period did trump travel to this golf clock courts because anyone who's paying attention will certainly know the dynamics of those roads will change when trump is on the road from point a to zero, point b. And so if he's been there days, weeks, or however however, how much time before he's going to get a sense of the rhythm of what it means for trump to move from mar alago to his golf course that so it just takes patience. It doesn't take a ph. D. At this stage. So i'm very, very curious about his his whereabouts in the weeks before in particular, i will say this in the weeks since butler because all of us were very, very nervous after the first assassination attempt, all of us very aware of the threat environment in the political threat environment in this country that button laura could elicit a copycat. Now, butler's motivations we at the assassination assassin were confused and not clear. This may be more clear and so that's that's that's the focus i want on the timeframe because once he's there, he could pick a pickup pretty easily when trump is on the move. Daniel, according to officials, those person was 300 to 500 yards away from the former president. I don't know if that meant they had actual line of sight on the former president, but but can you just put that into perspective in terms of if he had been able to see the former president, how difficult it would it difficult to, or perhaps easy it would have been with a rifle like that to have taken a shot well at the ak47 if that's it's reports are correct, the ak47 clearly would have been able to get that distance if the shot were correct. And it would have been made even easier with the scope. That's pictured in some of these photographs if he had the training, the rifle along with the scope, easily could have made that distance. But as you stated did he have a clear line of shot to the president? obviously, golf courses have rolling hills, have bunkers, whether he would've been able to see the former president. And clearly take a shot. It's unknown one things they're going to really look at is his training and the fbi will conduct an investigation to look into. Was he preparing for this? was he preparing for a longshot? did he go to the rifle range is to go to outdoor ranges. Was he looking at different variations of distance could he have made the shot with his with some training on this rifle? yes, he could have probably easily if he had line of sight on the on the former president, i think could have very easily taken the shot with a rifle of this caliber. It would have done some tremendous damage, so works extremely fortunate today that we're talking about an attempted assassination and actually not a successful assassination. Thanks to that secret service agent who acted and moved in a much more of our special coverage when we come back short break, we'll be right back want this is what you eat.

Com and max. This is cnn. The world's news network welcome back to our breaking news coverage. What the fbi says, quote, appears to be an attempted assassination of former president trump. The second attempt on his life in jail that's two months, one man. Now in custody. I want to go to carlos suarez outside of maralago talking about how things are there right now well, anderson, it is our understanding that the former president is at his resort here at maralago after this incident took place at the golf course earlier this afternoon. Now there is a a visible, an increase of security around trump's property, though it is important to note that some of these security measures were put in place after the first attempted assassination of the former president in pennsylvania. As my colleague, kristen holmes noted earlier in this hour, there is one street, southern boulevard, which connects the mainland and paul beach that is open to the public. However, there are two security checkpoints that are in place. Anderson there is one island, a small island that you have to cross an order to get out anywhere near maralago that island which is normally open to the public, has been closed tonight. I'll folks are usually allowed to park their cars there and they're able to get a look at trump's property. However, that is not the case. There even able to make it out onto the barrier island, you really cannot get anywhere near trump's property because the secret service has closed south ocean boulevard, which runs along parts of the perimeter to trump's mara lago property. Again, they close that after this first attempted assassination, and it's expected to be closed through at least november. We're told that that anytime that the former president is out here, the secret service goes, make sure that that area is closed. Now, we are about ten to 15 minutes from where this incident took place at the golf course and anderson, it really took us a considerable amount of time hi to get from that location here in large part because there were so many streets around the golf course that have been closed as a result of this investigation. And so it was just difficult for us to make our way east of where this incident took place. Again, anderson, we expect a lot of these security measures to remain in effect as this investigation on folds and the security measures that were in place before today, again, we expect those to essentially be kept in place through at least november anderson, carlos suarez. Thank you very much joining us now is david aronberg. He's the state attorney for palm beach county, florida and a former member of the florida senate, sandberg. Appreciate you being with us. Sorry, it's under these circumstances what kind of charges could this detain person potentially face libya anderson. Originally, we were looking at morant's at the state level, including a motion for pretrial detention, but then the feds came in and they have taken over this case. My office, the state attorney's office, local prosecutors all of us will not be filing any charges. If we had it could have been looking at aggravated assault with a firearm. And sensitive secret service member here as the victim, he could have faced up to 15 years in prison, seconddegree felony. But now since the feds are involved, he's facing a lot more attempted assassination. Firearms offenses, a lot more potential years just in prison. Now that the feds have taken over this matter, do you know i mean, is there a legal definition of what an attempted assassination is? and would this fall under that that legally thank you. Would now federal law does not require you to actually shoot someone and pull the trigger. You could just set something up and then take an action that doesn't involve actually pressing the trigger interestingly that the federal level, there's no domestic terrorism law that has any penalties the source of controversy that's something that could have been charged or potentially if congress decided to finally add some penalties to the definition of domestic terrorism so i think instead, rely at the federal level on the firearms offenses as tenth assassination, maybe others, transported this ak ak47 across state lines, apparently, he's apparently had felonies in his past, so there's a host of laws. He likely has violated what do you i mean, you know, this area what do you at this stage? and again, we don't know what information this person ad where he got information was he in the area? how do you think he may have figured out that the former president was there playing golf on that day you know, we've been talking about this with my colleagues and one thing i know is that when the former president moves around, everyone notices. I mean, there's like a 20 car entourage. And so you have this huge event where they closed down the streets. He moves around and since he plays golf at this location, a lot, you would just need to wait to see when the entourage passes by. And then this is off some major roads. This is different than palm beach and maralago. Maralago. As already been set as across the water. It's easier to close that down the streets around it. Here major streets, it's hard to close the streets down and it's in an area where you could slip in and out with a big bag a little more easily. And the jail is right next door to the golf course. You can sometimes hear when you're playing on the golf course, the inmates yelling in, banging on the cell bars. So we don't know yet how that let's happen. But it is harder to shut down that area around this facility that it is maralago and obviously the investigation is still very much in the early stages is there do you think anybody else could be charged? i mean, if the detained person had had help in any way yes. I mean, if there was an accomplice, definitely. But right now, we have no indication that he acted with anyone else, but that's what the investigation is for. One thing to know is that i know the secret service will probably criticized for the fact that he got so close, but keep in mind those hedges are really big and they're thick. And other people in the past haven't gotten through to take pictures of trump while he is golfing. Here. It's like looking at a needle in a haystack if you're secret service, it really is an act of heroism to see a person with this dangerous weapon poking through the fence. And it was really a great job by secret service to are the first shots were apparently the suspect didn't i are shot at all well, it is remarkable that he had actually had the you know, the rifle going through the fence for most snipers would not do that until they were actually about to take a shot because it is a rifle, the rifles sticking out can, can attract attention do you have a sense of how wide in scope this investigation would be? i mean, since obtain person is from, you know, from a different state obviously with the fbi involved there, they would be mobilizing any field headquarters in any state that that might be involved you have the fbi, the secret service. I'm sure atf will be involved. We're going have all these federal agencies also, governor desantis has announced he's going to do an through the florida department of law enforcement. I mean, we'll see what happens there if dechalus grandstanding worth that's something meaningful because i think the feds are equipped to do this on their own. But look, it's important to know what happened here and how to prevent it from happening again it's again another too close for comfort incident. I suspect you'll see a lot more protection around that golf club in the days ahead. Do you do you know anything more about what the detained persons previous interactions with law enforcement may have been he has a rap sheet apparently, lot of the crime dropped in north carolina. He apparently knew enough with his previous interaction with law enforcement that when he was pulled over and detained on i95, about 40 minutes north of west palm beach, who is apparently trying to drive out, perhaps driving back to north carolina, that he knew enough to stay silent. He did not apparently speak to officers. He was calm. So look like a person who has done this before as far not necessarily this crime, but someone who's had repeated interactions with law enforcement, although he doesn't seem to have much of a rap sheet here in florida dave aronberg, i really appreciate your time. Thank you. Thank you. Anderson. When we come back, how to keep a place like a golf course secure for someone like former president, years.

Com breaking news coverage. Sunlen serfaty joins us at the white house. What do we now learning from or about president biden? what the fbi says, an attempted assassination of former president. What's the what is the current president said about it that's right. Anderson, we just heard in the last hour new statement from president biden himself in a statement released from the white house, where he again expresses his relief that the former president donald trump is on harmed in this incident. And notably, biden echoes the language that the fbi used earlier that's significant language in which they call this a possible assassination attempt. They'll biden in this statement in part goes on to say, quote, there was an active investigation into this incident as law enforcement gathers more details about what has happened, i've said many times there's no place for political violence of any violence ever in our country. He then goes on to say that he's directed his team to make sure that the secret service has every and protective measure necessary to ensure that the former president remains safe. Now, president biden himself, he has been here in washington at the white house all day behind closed doors. He did not i'll have a public schedule, but we know according to white house officials that he was updated very early in this investigation, it was only 45 minutes after we first heard that something had happened in florida involving president trump that we received he the statement from a white house official that biden himself has been briefed and that we know according to officials, he remained briefed as information came throughout the day. So certainly significant, a more fulsome statement at this hour late in the evening, anderson, as president, biden, likely will continue to be updated about it since the night and tomorrow morning as well. Anderson sunlen. Thank you. Tonight, we're learning new details about just how difficult it has been for the secret service's secure golf courses visited by presence over the years, especially those belonging to trump. Cnn's kevin liptak joins us now with some of those details. What are you hearing kevin? yeah this is really underscored what we've been hearing really for a number of years from sources, from secret service officials who do lay out some of the challenges they have faced when it comes to golf courses. And in particular, when it comes to donald trump, who we know loves golfing and loves golfing at his own golf courses. And certainly the way this incident unfolded today just gives you a sense of the challenges they're facing. For starters, this course is bounded by three major roads. They're open to traffic, they're open to pedestrians it's very close to the airport and donald trump's courses are semipublic. They're open to members and paying guests even when the president and now the former president is they're playing around of golf. So this is essentially a porous environment. And for a president or a former president that really does present a major challenge for the secret service now, when donald trump was the sitting president, and i covered him down in palm beach frequently. The access to the perimeter of the golf course was much much more limited. A certainly the public roads remained open, but the sidewalks did not that changed when he became the former president and we heard that directly from the palm beach county sheriff earlier today saying that if donald trump had been the sitting president, there may have been more of a perimeter around him, so it all sort of speaks to the fact that these open courses, these open areas really do present a major challenge for the secret service. The president essentially doesn't have anywhere to go if trouble arises, there is no armored suburban sort of trailing him in a way that they're normally would be for a president. It is one of the only times they're able to walk out outdoor is at any sort of length. And that's certainly you don't want as the secret service to be able to tell the president you know, you can't do that. But it has raised some new questions about the security. And this year, kennedy protocols around golf courses and president's and social questions, of course, is where the alleged shooter the person who's now in custody, being questioned where his vehicle was parked, how long it took him to get back to an how long it was parked there, would anybody was it there for a long period of time? did anybody take any notice of it? we don't have answers on that yet. How has the secret service? handled previous president had golf courses well, it's interesting because as you know, if donald trump had been president and there had been sort of a perimeter established around this golf course. They probably would have identified a stray vehicle sort of pulled over to the side of the road, very close to one of the hole that's where donald trump was playing because that wasn't the case. The perimeter wasn't there and they weren't able to detect it until the person had sort of crawled through the bushes. And up until the green. And it's interesting because when, for instance, barack obama played golf pretty here in washington, but he played at joint base it's andrews which is obviously on a military installation. It has a perimeter already built in and that wasn't necessarily as much of a concern for donald trump. He has his own golf courses and certainly he prefers to play at his own courses as president, just as an example, his courts just outside here in washington is right on the potomac river that presents another security challenge for the secret service. One of the holes on that course goes right up into the onto the river. And so i don't think you can expect the secret service to tell donald trump that he can't play it as courses. But as we heard from the sheriff earlier today, the expectation would probably be that there will now be a lot more for people around the perimeter, creating a perimeter, making it more secure going forward kevin liptak.

He jumped into a black nissan and i took a picture of a vehicle and the tank, which was great so we had that information our real time crime center put it south to the license plate readers and we were able to get a handle that vehicle on i95 as it was headed? and then the martin county we got to hold the martin county sheriff's office, alerted them and they spotted the vehicle and pulled it over and detain the guy after that, we took the victim i'm sorry, the witness that witnessed the incident took flew them up there and he identified as the person that he saw running out of the bushes of jumped into the car now, in the bushes where this guy was is ak 47 style rifle the scope, two backpacks, which were home on the fence that had ceramic tile at him and a gopro which he was going to take pictures of so those are being processed right now the secret service agent that was on the course did a fantastic job. What they do is they have an agent that jumps one whole ahead of time to where the president was asked. And he was able to spot this rifle barrel sticking out of the fits and immediately engaged that individual at which time individual total is chris swecker, former fbi assistant criminal investigative division, and juliette kayyem, cnn senior national security analyst, and a former dhs assistant secretary, chris obviously we're still trying to learn more about what happened, what given what we know now, what stands out to you the most well, the big question i think is, and it's been discussed. How did he know to be there at that time at that location? i mean, there's only three ways he would know he's very lucky and had a lucky guess or he's been surveilling donald trump or setting up a stationary surveillance are moving surveillance or he had some information that he shouldn't have had because apparently trump this is a lastminute decision to go play golf that day so the third option is pretty disturbing. And i hope that's not the case but that would implicate a third person if that were the case. In terms of chris out having any kind of i mean, if it's, not some telling him there's other people who used that golf course, i assume investigators would also be looking right now at did anybody sent out a tweet or take a picture and say, hey, i'm golfing at this club today. And the former president is here any surveillance cameras to see. Was this guy in this car surveilling the area today, yesterday in the last week or so would be interviewing everyone that knew anything about his schedule whatsoever. I mean, you raised some other possibilities. To maybe somebody posted on social media hate trump's golf. And here today. But he would if he were doing surveillance or he had notice he would have about an hour and 15 minutes to get to that location and set up his little nest that he had with his ceramic this ceramic in the backpack, which obviously was sort of a bulletproof attempt to set up a bulletproof location there so he would play it takes about an hour and 15 minutes to play, five or six holes if he knew when he went off that he was going off, he would have time to preposition himself. So there there are other possibilities, but this is there's a parallel investigation going on, obviously on him in general, but i think there's much ever at least at least as robust investigation on who knew about his schedule or how that information could have gotten out juliette, what stood out to you about the honors law enforcement found left by the detained person the gopro, the ceramic plate yeah. So it basically, i think the gopro is a tell this was a assassination attempt. It was also performative he clearly and we've seen this in mass shootings before and new zealand, for example, that he, he wanted to document the kill like, i mean, i mean, that is basic as it sounds that he whether it was live streaming or he thought he was going to get away and post it somehow this is someone with an active social media presence. He knows how it works. And though he is older than we've seen, more recently in terms of, of the sort of 20 something white males. He he knew how to do this. So to me, the gopro is shows a level of sophistication, a level of planning, and that he not only wanted to document the assassination attempt because of this the plates and the defensive posture that he clearly was anticipated meaning that they would either find him or he would be engaged by law enforcement that he he wanted that to be filmed as well. So for me, the thing that i am very curious about it as i've been saying, is given. For example, that his son has said, you know, this is coming out of nowhere and now that's a son and we take it for for the fact it is his father i'm very curious about where he was after the butler, pennsylvania assassination attempt because in this world of increased violence, of political violence you worry very much about copycats. And if there is evidence, if we learn about behavior that changes, he shows up in florida, he's staking the place. Then we have to be very worried about as we already are given the threat environment of the weeks ahead. And that's and that's the sobering aspect of this. And so many ways i never honestly, i never thought i'd be on sealed and i'm talking about one assassination attempt. The fact i'm talking about two and in just as many months, basically, it's shakur's school shooters often now, we later find out studied the actions of other school shooters, all that going all the way back to columbine. Do you think it likely that this person would have to juliette's point studied what occurred in butler and what the actions of the person that you know, what that person did it's entirely possible. I mean i think that this type all these mass shootings have a viral aspect to it, where you see it, the idea gets planted. You have an unstable individual and maybe some ideology mixed in with it, and they get just go off so i think that's that's possible this guy obviously had, you know, had a little bit of a trump fixation. I mean, he he he was definitely a trump did tractor he had done some other odd things. He had gone to ukraine supposedly and tried to recruit some fighters for ukraine. He had a twohour standoff off with police in greensboro, north carolina had a machine gun was charged with weapon of mass destruction. Now, this guy was a bit of a wing nut and quite unpredictable. So they're going to dissect this guy's life and there'll be searches on his computer, on his laptop, on his mobile phone. They'll go through all electronic media, look at his social network, not just his family, but all the logical people. I think this picture will become clearer in a day or so. Yeah, it also seems like he left a trail like he didn't try to wipe out or take out any of those accounts at this stage. Thank you grace, juliette appreciate it.
