A new attempt on Trump – what is known
On September 15, the headquarters of the US presidential candidate from the Republican Party said that Donald Trump was shot near, but he is safe.
A short time later, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office took into custody a possible suspect believed to be connected to the shooting incident. Trump himself said that he was not injured during the shooting.
As the Fox News channel reported with reference to law enforcement sources, the suspect in the shooting has been identified as Ryan Wesley Root.
Root was allegedly armed with an assault rifle outside the Trump International Golf Club as the former US president played golf in the afternoon.
According to law enforcement officials, the suspect was allegedly able to push the muzzle of the rifle through the fence. He was 300-500 yards from Trump when the Secret Service spotted Root and opened fire. The man managed to escape, but was later arrested.
The FBI said it is treating the shooting in Florida as a possible new attempt on Trump.
According to CNN, the suspect in the alleged assassination attempt on Trump was a critic of Trump, actively supported Ukraine, and also had problems with the law.
CNN also noted that Root was coming to Ukraine already after the full-scale invasion in May 2022.
On September 16, the Central Intelligence Agency denied the information that Ryan Root, the suspect in the attempt on former US President Donald Trump, is involved in the International Legion.
As CNN later reported, a loaded rifle with an SCS optical sight was found near Trump’s golf club (self-loading Simonov carbine) with an optical sight.
