Former President Trump is safe after second assassination.

Former President Donald Trump is certain after what officials say was the second, unsuccessful assassination in two months against him. The FBI took over the case after Sunday's shooting as American Voice correspondent Anita Powell reports he is being held in custody. This second effort only increases the dramatic developments Americans are experiencing in this election campaign.

For the second time in nine weeks, former President Donald Trump survived a possible assassination. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the latest case occurred Sunday afternoon at his golf club at West Palm Beach in Florida.

Unlike the first time, this did not happen in live broadcasts, as did the shooting that Mr. Trump survived on July 13th. Then Mr. Trump was injured in the ear, while a participant at his election rally was killed.

Days later, Mr. Trump received the nomination of the Republican Party as presidential candidate.

Officials on Sunday said the former president was not hurt.

FBI, who runs the investigation, says “seems to be an attempt on assassinations”.

Local police chief said the suspect fled, leaving behind an AK-47) style rifle, a camera of type Two bags. The police later seized him as he was speeding along the main highway heading toward the neighboring district.

The nearby Secret Service agent did a great job. He managed to detect the barrel of a rifle that was seen across the bush where the suspect was standing, and the officer reacted immediately by firing. At that time that individual immediately fled”, says Rick Bradshaw, head of police at Palm Beach.

In a joint statement less than an hour after the former president's team announced the second attempt against Mr. Trump, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris said they were being regularly informed of the case. Both said they felt relief that Mr. Trump is safe.

The vice president and vice president have been informed of the incident on the golf course, where the former president was playing golf. They feel relieved to have learned that he is safe”, It says in this statement.

Police reported that the suspect was “midis 275 and 450 m” by Mr. Trump, hiding in the bushes.

While this raises questions about how this will add further uncertainty to an already troubled election campaign, these figures underline a terrible fact as America moves towards the November elections:
