Trump was the subject of an apparent assassination attempt at his Florida golf club, the FBI says

The FBI says Donald Trump was the target of “what appears to be an attempted assassination” at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida. It's been just nine weeks since the Republican presidential nominee survived another attempt on his life. The former president says he's safe and well, and authorities are holding a man in custody. Secret Service agents stationed a few holes up from where Trump was playing noticed the muzzle of an AK-style rifle sticking through the shrubbery that lines the course. A sheriff says an agent fired and the gunman dropped the rifle and fled, leaving it behind along with two backpacks, a scope used for aiming and a GoPro camera.
