Donald Trump was the target of what the FBI described as an apparent assassination attempt at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, on September 15, 2024. This alarming event comes just nine weeks after Trump survived another assassination attempt, highlighting ongoing threats against the former president during his campaign. Secret Service agents, stationed nearby, noticed the muzzle of an AK-style rifle protruding from the shrubbery while Trump was playing golf, prompting immediate action.

The suspect was later apprehended by law enforcement.
