Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump declared himself safe after the Secret Service foiled what the FBI called an apparent assassination attempt while he was golfing on his course in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Secret Service agents spotted and fired on a gunman in bushes near the property line of the golf course, a few hundred yards from where Mr Trump was playing, law enforcement officials said.
The suspect left an AK-47-style assault rifle and other items at the scene and fled in a vehicle but was later arrested.
Ryan Wesley Routh, identified as a suspect in the second assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump, visited Ukraine and supported the Kiev regime, the New York Post said.
According to the news outlet, he voiced "strong support for Ukraine in its war against Russia" and promoted "the idea of having former Afghanistan troopers fight for Ukraine in Russia." The newspaper noted that he also said that he had visited Kiev and "claimed that he would be willing to fight on the front lines, if he were permitted to."
