UPDATE 3:20 PM EDT --
Trump campaign confirms President Trump is SAFE following gunshots in the vicinity.
I’m hearing reports that Shots were fired at Trump International Golf Course while Trump was there golfing.
A source says that they found a Ak-47 in the bushes and the suspect fled over the wall.
New Information:
Two backpacks each with ceramic tiles. A go pro. An AK style sniper rifle (likely an AR-15) and a convenient witness to snap the picture.
Here's how it works;
The two backpacks are there to narrow return fires ability. With those bags hanging between the rifle it limits the ability of the secret service to get a clear shot should the assassins first shot miss. Those bags allow him to take the needed shots to complete the job while blocking his head and face. Without a direct head on view of the shooter return fire isn't as successful.
The go pro is there to record proof of death. Either through live stream or through a drop site.
The rifle itself is designed to be something anyone could get in order to make this look like some radical did it.
Finally the witness. They did their job. They had one job, hear shots, see the assassin get in the suv and take the picture. They planned on the assassin making a getaway but needed to ensure he was caught and disposed of. Unfortunately what they did not plan for was that the shots fired were from the secret service and not the assassin. The witness doesn't know this though so they take the pic thinking the job is complete. Without that pic this guy doesn't get caught.
This was so clearly planned by a professional.
UPDATE 7:00 PM EDT --
One media outlet ERRONEOUSLY reported the shots were "unrelated to Trump." They reported two men on a nearby road were having a dispute and one fired at the other, but that reporting was factually wrong.
As of 6:54 PM eastern US time, the FBI has officially designated the investigation as an "Assassination attempt."
According to new information, the Secret Service exchanged gunfire with the shooter ! ! ! ! !
According to sources in Florida, surveillance cameras picked up the license plate of a Ford pick-up truck fleeing the Golf Course scene. The plate was then entered into an automated license plate scanning system connected to other police cameras, and surveillance cameras picked up that plate on Interstate 95 as the truck entered Martin County, FL.
Local police and Florida Highway Patrol was notified, swarmed into that area, and gave chase when the vehicle was located.
A Felony Stop was made and the man shown below was arrested:
UPDATE 7:07 PM EDT --
Ryan Wesley Routh is the suspect of today's assassination attempt on former President Trump. His "X" Social media account (Twitter) is filled with pro-Ukraine rhetoric, Black Lives Matter supportive tweets, Bernie Sanders endorsements and allegedly claiming to have Afghan soldiers on standby to support Haiti police. The guy appears to be yet another mentally ill, left-wing, LIBERAL.

Reports now coming in claiming this guy "Enlisted in the Ukraine Army in May." Video of him enlisting in Ukraine is below:

Hal Turner Remarks
You don't try to assassinate candidates who are losing...
You know Donald Trump is winning because they've tried to kill him twice.
If he was going to lose and they thought they could beat him fair and square, then they would just do it.
They wouldn't have to act like this.
These are desperate actions.
