The FBI is investigating what it said is an apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump at his Florida golf club Sunday, the second time in two months there's been an apparent attempt on the former president's life.

A Secret Service agent spotted a rifle barrel with a scope sticking out of the fence of the golf course and "immediately engaged" with the person, Bradshaw said. The agent who spotted the rifle, Bradshaw said, is part of a team that stays a hole or two ahead of Trump on the course. The person was 300 to 500 yards away from Trump, an official said.
The person fled the scene in a car and was spotted by a witness, which ultimately helped law enforcement officials locate the vehicle driving north on I-95 in Martin County, one county to the north of Palm Beach.

The person in custody in connection with the apparent attempted assassination is Ryan Wesley Routh, according to three law enforcement sources.
