Its blocked. They blocked it off. The I 95 in florida, and pictures taken by a Passing Motorist show a large number of police surrounding a vehicle. Law enforcement officers have just detained a man suspected of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump. He was driving the black car seen here at the side of the road. The former president was playing golf on his own course when a number of gunshots were heard. A secret Service Agent had spotted a Rifle Being pointed from bushes at the edge of the course. They have an agent Thatjumps One Hole ahead of time to where the president was at, and he was able to spot this Rifle Barrel sticking out of the fence and immediately engage that individual, at which time the individual took off. The police recovered what they say is an ak 47 Style Rifle with a scope, two backpacks containing Ceramic Tiles, and a gopro camera. We are not sure right now if the individual was able to take a shot at our agents, but for sure our agents were able to to engage with the subject. And, you know, thats a little bit old, that chart. It is just a matter of weeks since the last Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump happened. Gunfire. He was shot and injured at a Campaign Rally in pennsylvania. Just moments later, he was on his feet and shouting fight, fight, to the crowd. After this latest attempt, the former president put out a brief statement. There were gunshots in my vicinity, he said, but before rumours start spiralling out of control, i wanted you to hear this first. I am safe and well. Nothing will slow me down. I will never surrender. Vice president Kamala Harris said, ive been briefed on reports of gunshots fired near former President Trump and his property in florida. I am glad he is safe. Violence has no place in america. Police have now raided the former home of the suspect in this case. Hes been named by American Media as 58 year old ryan routh. On Social Media, Routh Claims to have fought against russian forces in ukraine. Donald trump left his Golf Course under heavy security a few hours after the thwarted attack. There will be questions about how a man with a rifle was able to get so close to the former president , but Donald Trump has praised the Secret Service for their response and says he will continue to campaign this week. Graham satchell, Bbc News. Tom bateman is outside the Palm BeachGolf Course where The Incident took place and he gave this update. Over the coming hours, there will be much focus on the suspect, named by us media as ryan wesley routh, a 58 year old former Construction Worker from north carolina. What the police have said is that the suspect was apprehended around 40 the suspect was apprehended around a0 Miles North of here, in a vehicle that they had traced from the scene here, a black nissan, spotted by an eyewitness who was then stopped by the local Sheriff North of here on the local Sheriff North of here on the Interstate Highway and the suspect apprehended and the vehicle then searched. The suspect is now being held in ajail then searched. The suspect is now being held in a jail in the county. What we expect in the next few hours, in the morning, is that that person will be transferred back South Down here to west Palm Beach and the potential then for a court appearance. We heard from Law Enforcement officials during that News Conference earlier that if they decide to book him, they can then press charges locally here but there is also of course the distinct possibility of federal charges because there is an Fbi Investigation now leading all of this. To give you a sense of the geography here, just behind me is the sign for the trump international golf club. This corner here, behind the bushes here, is hole six of the Golf Course. That is where Donald Trump was heading towards. He was between the fifth and the six holes according to the police and it was that advanced Security Sweep by the Secret Service that started the barrel of that Assault Rifle pointing through a Chain Link Fence and it was that very fact that it appears ultimately protected Donald Trump because those secret Service Agents fired towards the suspect. What remains unclear is whether or not the suspect fired either at that secret Service Agent or at Donald Trump himself. We dont have that confirmed yet. The police and the fbi were asked that question in the News Conference. They say that whether or not a shot was fired or shots were fired by the suspect still remains part of their investigation for stock tom bateman. The bbc verify team has been looking at Social Media profiles which match the name of the alleged suspect ryan routh. Heres our News Analysis Editor ros atkins. Out colleagues at cbs have spoken to sources who have indicated that the suspect is called ryan routh, and with that Name Bbc verify was able to start looking at different social Media Platforms to see if we could find accounts that match that name. And we have weve managed to identify several Social Media accounts in that name. Weve then cross referenced some of the content on those accounts with an image that allegedly shows a man being arrested at the scene on the highway near to Donald Trumps Golf Course. And if we look at those accounts, a number of themes emerge. First of all, go back to 2020, and there is a post on twitter now called x, in which the man directly addresses Donald Trump and says, i voted for you in 2016, but then says that we were all greatly disappointed, will be glad when youre gone, he says in this tweet. So that was back in 2020. More recently, a lot of the social Media Output on these accounts has been around ukraine. We know that the man in these accounts is involved in organising forforeign volunteers to go to ukraine tojoin the fight against russia. He featured, he was quoted in an article on just that subject in the New York Times last year. Theres also a video that bbc verify has seen on youtube, which appears to show him in the ukrainian capital kyiv, again talking about the issue of the Wests Approach to ukraine, and particularly about the issue of volunteers coming to ukraine. And its clear in a number of these posts across a number of platforms that he is frustrated about the Wests Approach to ukraine. He feels that more should be done. So that is coming out again and again. Of course, we have to be cautious about this because were still learning details about who this person is, and we dont have a huge amount of confirmed detail from the authorities themselves. However, it is relevant based on that sourcing from cbs and based on the research that bbc verify has done, that these themes are coming out from those Social Media accounts. Ross atkins. My Colleague Lucy hockings has been speaking to barry donadio, a former secret Service Agent who worked in the White House protecting President Bush and president obama. When there is an Assassination Attempt and it is officially determined it was an Assassination Attempt against a sitting president , attempt against a sitting president , a former president or a nominee for president of one of the parties, the fbi will take over that. They take over that investigation. But what you have to realise, we use words like they take over the investigation. The reality is, the fbi works closely with all Law Enforcement in most of these types of cases. It actually becomes basically a joint task force, so they can reach out to not only other fbi officers but other Law Enforcement entities where this individual may have been known. They will also work with Intelligence Agencies to see if any of the information comes back about this individual where he may have been part of a state sponsored Assassination Attempt or any type of terrorist group. find Assassination Attempt or any type of Terrorist GrounAssassination Attempt or any type of terrorist grown terrorist group. And what do you make of the terrorist group. And what do you make of the evidence terrorist group. And what do you make of the evidence that terrorist group. And what do you make of the evidence that the i terrorist group. And what do you | make of the evidence that the fbi has got so far . I have heard it described here in the us as being a gold mine, given we have to go pro, the gun, the car, all sorts of crucial pieces of evidence the fbi will have already . It is crucial pieces of evidence the fbi will have already . Will have already . It is very tellin will have already . It is very telling and will have already . It is very telling and it will have already . It is very telling and it is will have already . It is very telling and it is telling will have already . It is very telling and it is telling on. Will have already . It is very telling and it is telling on many different levels. One, the fact, lets look at both of the july Assassination Attempt and this one, this is twice better shooter has been able to get within 500 yards, which at that particular weapon, and s an Ak A7, their max effective range is a50 yards, especially with a scope. So trump was estimated to be within a00 500 yards of this individual. So twice now, somebody has been able to get within that distance. That is something that the fbi should be able to take into account because now it it has gone beyond just a simple dropping of the ball of tactics where these threat assessments are not being done properly. The individual himself left what appears to be notjust properly. The individual himself left what appears to be not just a backpack but possibly two ballistic plates that are tied and hung up against that defence and he had the rifle in between those, which meant he was ready for a potential shoot out. We wanted to record it and then he went to the car and they located the vehicle with him in it, the go pro, if he had any other issues or things that were recorded on there, and his Social Media. This individual, unlikejuly, has not had his Social Media scrubbed, so the fbi will be able to look at that and determine who this guy is as far as Social Media tells and then they hopefully get his bones and things like that and be able to scrub those as well to see if he has any other contacts that could have been involved.
