Donald trump yes. Just two months after for the last attempted assassination of the former president , we are told he is now safe. He is back at his Maralago Club in Palm Beach, florida this comes out after about 1 30 this afternoon, police were notified that shots had been fired in his vicinity while he was golfing at his club in west Palm Beach, florida. That is just its across The Bridge. And where maralago is as of right now, a suspect is in custody and just a short time ago, we heard from authorities with an update on how all this situation played out 30 this afternoon a call came out, shots fired. That was called by Secret Service because were in constant contact with them all the time we were notified of that and we had uterus hear that immediately seal off the area fortunately, we were able to locate a witness that came to us and said, hey, i saw the guy running out of the bushes he jumped into a black nice its and i took a picture of the vehicle and the tank, which was great so we had that information or realtime crime im center put it out to the License Plate readers, and we were able to get a handle that vehicle on i95 as it was headed in to Martin County. Weve got to hold a Martin CountySheriffs Office, alerted them and they spotted the vehicle and pull it over and done detained the guy after that, we took the victim im sorry, the witness that witnessed the incident took flew them up there he identified as the person that he saw running out of the bushes at jumped into the car. Now, in the bushes where this guy was is an ak47 seventh Style Rifle with a scope. Two backpacks, which were hung on the fence that had ceramic tile him and a gopro, which he was going to take Pictures Process right now the secret Service Agent that was on the course did a fantastic job. What they do is because they have an agent that jumps one whole ahead of time toward a president who was at and he was able to spot this Rifle Barrel sticking out of the fence and immediate the lead against that individual at which time the individual tough on all that coming from sheriff rick bradshaw, the Palm BeachCounty Sheriff, the Law Enforcement officials, kaitlan, have not yet named the suspect who was taken into custody on Interstate 95 after this apparent Assassination Attempt and adjusting its happened two months after trump was wounded in the ear. A lot of us remember, we saw it live here on cnn, surviving an Assassination Attempt in butler, pennsylvania. The u. S secret Service Shot and killed the gunman in that incident, the fbi says it is now in charge of this investigation in florida. Cnns Kristen Holmes is joining he is right now, kristen, what more are you learning about this incident involving the former president well, were for piecing together what we know from that Press Conference and what were being told by officials on background on the ground who are familiar with what happened. So what were told us this afternoon, Donald Trump was on his Golf Course in west Palm Beach, florida. Thats the Trump InternationalGolf Course. He was with donor and allies, steve witkoff. They were traveling between the fifth and six Golf Hole when they heard shots. Now, what we also have been told is that essentially Secret Service had an advanced team ahead of them several holes. And that is who engaged with the suspect that they saw firing off when they saw that rifle. And i will tell you that it is also the campaign or at least advisers to the campaign who are feel the same way that that sheriff felt in terms of secret Service Behavior and what happened. Remember . When that Assassination Attempt happened in butler, there were a lot of questions as to why they did not engage with this gunman sooner. We know now that Secret Service, based on that Press Conference, did engage once they saw the rifle in the brush just off of the Golf Course. Now its not clear exactly how far it was from that rifle where Donald Trump was. But as we heard during that Press Conference, the sheriff himself saying that with that kind of rifle, which was an ak Style Rifle and a scope, it didnt really matter the distance he was still close enough so certainly within the vicinity we had been told by sources and obviously weve now heard from the fbi that they believe that Donald Trump was the Tendon Target of this suspect. You see there, who was found with these backpacks, a gopro and this longrange style missile, Donald Trump, as weve noted, is back at his Maralago Club after being held for several hours at that Golf Club as they were searching the scene, as they were making sure it was secure as theyre making sure was secure for him travel in that motorcade. Its only about 12 Minute Ride from the Golf Course to maralago, but they still had to secure the streets, make sure that it was safe for him to travel. Im sure John Miller really speaking about this later, but these Law Enforcement officials have said that they need to make sure theres not a second gunman, that theres not a second target, that theres not anyone lying in. Wait, we saw this same thing happened with butler when Donald Trump went to the hospital and then we didnt know where he was after a lockdown for several hours until he ended up at the airport. That is all systematic. It is all custom. Mary, when something like this happens, but of course this circumstance, theres nothing customary about it at all because we are talking about as youve noted, these second Assassination Attempt on the former president in the same matter of months, it has shooken a lot of those people around him up and they are obviously asking a lot of questions one of the main questions is how exactly did this Suspect Know where Donald Trump would be . Its important to maintain and to understand that Donald Trump hes not the current sitting president. He doesnt have to put out a schedule every single day. He doesnt travel with a pool that knows his whereabouts at all times. He is a candidate and he has security, but this was not an event golfing at his west Palm BeachGolf Club that was on any sort of external scheduled. In fact, hes been traveling a lot with the Campaign Travel and its very various properties that there were several people ive spoken to who didnt even know that he was in Palm Beach, florida this weekend, that he would be playing golf and these are people who talked to him on a regular basis. So while the preliminary conversations, im having with advisers and the people close to him say they are very happy with the way the security was handled. We know that after the shots were fired, Donald Trump was whisked away in a Golf Course by Golf Cart by a second set of Security Agents who secret Service Agents who put him into the club again, that was secured down there are still a lot of questions as to how exactly the suspect knew where Donald Trump was going to be and when all right. Kristen, thank you very much, Kristen Holmes reporting, Doing Excellent Reporting for us. Appreciate it very much. Kaitlan back to you Yeah Wolf it as were breaking all this down, hearing from officials during that briefing, we have our Law Enforcement analyst with us and jonathan wackrow. I want to start with you because obviously a lot of focus has been on the Secret Service since what happened in butler, pennsylvania two months ago and now today, officials there, that Breach Briefing were praising the Secret Service for how quickly they acted here that it was an agent to almost unbelievably was able to be advancing trump on the Golf Course to see the barrel of that rifle sticking out of the bushes and was able to engage with this person before Donald Trump. Obviously got to that hole as he was planning to do. And when you look at the Secret Service, its around trump, its obviously been ramped up since butler, but is it at the level that a current president has how can you tell us what that looks like well, i dont want to share too much around what the full protective structure is of the president united states, because there is a lot of national security structures that are built into that position. But former President Trump has had a significant enhancement to his protective detail, both in the women and men that surround him on a daytoday basis. But also in terms of the advanced agents the technology thats applied to protecting the former president , you know, weve seen some of these things visually. Weve seen some of the protective enhancements such as the ballistic glass that is now with him on all outdoor public events. Youve seen an increase of the size. I think kaitlan, you talked about the detail earlier. You have noticed that there have been additional agents that are surrounding the former president. So what youre seeing is actually the protective structure moving closer to the Vice President ial level which is a significant enhancement from what the protective model typically is. Performer president s such as former President Obama or bush shore, or clinton it is really a new model for the Secret Service, but its a model that has to be put into place. Because i think as wolf you had mentioned earlier, the Threat Environment surrounding Donald Trump, both from domestic threats as well as this overarching foreign threat from the iranians necessitate this level of enhancement. And it really for the Secret Service, this is unprecedented jonathan, can i follow up with you on that because heres the question. I think a lot of people watching are going to have, which is two months ago, what happened in butler, pennsylvania happened. Its not just obviously the fact that we saw trump came within an inch of his life that day, but also what we do know about the increased threat from iran that has been directed at Donald Trump at his campaign, at his family that we know of i think a lot of people will look at this and say, why are they still letting Donald Trump go out on a Golf Course that has a perimeter that is official said there once someone is in those in the shrubbery surrounding this Golf Course . Its incredibly difficult to be able to spot them. Theres three roads that surround this Golf Course. There. And i think some people may look at that and say, this is someone who golf regularly. Its very clear when he has left mar alago and gone to the international to the Trump InternationalGolf Course about 15 minutes away. So its not like Someone Wouldnt be able well to know that hes there and how the secret Service Approach Something like that will listen as were hearing from reporting and im sure the Secret Service starts divulging more information around how the shooter was identified. There are specific protocols that have been in place for the former president when he is golfing and that structure has since been enhanced even more with additional agents. Again, today, the model worked where those agents that were flanking in advance of the president , their role specifically is to identify this type of specific longrange threat. Now the question that Followup Question is going to be in the Secret Service will need to address this is how was the outer perimeter . How is this shooter able to get to that outer perimeter . An area that should have been identified as a vulnerability previously. Again, if you are able to get line of sight from the Fence Line into the Golf Course where the former president is. In this Threat Environment that needs to be addressed fully kaitlan is, you may remember back in 2017, there was a Cnn Crew that was actually filming the then president of the united States Golf Thing with a clear line of sight that was blocked or mitigated by a box truck, but the thought that youre seeing inside the Golf Course from the exterior, this isnt the first time this has happened. So there are some questions that the Secret Service will have to answer for that but at The End of the day, the protective model that surrounds the president worked we saw that happen and more the point that communication, the immediate notification by the agent that shots were fired, that there was a suspect that communication was immediately picked up by local Law Enforcement who were able to carry very forward the immediate action of setting up a perimeter around the Golf Course and then getting the witness to identify exactly the vehicle, the tag number, and bringing it a successful resolution to the immediate threat just want to follow up on one specific point over the years ive covered the Secret Service quite intensely, and i know theres one level of security for a sitting President Of The United States. Another level of security for a former President Of The United States, like baraka bomber, a bill clinton or Donald Trump for that matter right now. But theres another level of security for someone who maybe a former president , whos also the president ial nominee of a major party, a republican president ial nominee right now. And thats a much higher level of security than just for a former president. Is that right . Yeah, absolutely. Wolf, i think right now, we have to put into context, we are in uncharted territory right now with the former president. We are seeing a no one could predict that wed have to Assassination Attempts domestically against the former president , the Secret Service was for a long time, they were a little bit on their heels trying to addres
