An agent fired and the gunman dropped the rifle and fled in an SUV, leaving the firearm behind along with two backpacks, a scope used for aiming and a GoPro camera, Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said. The man was later stopped by law enforcement in a neighboring county.

It was the latest jarring moment in a campaign year marked by unprecedented upheaval. On July 13, Trump was shot during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and a . Eight days later, Democratic President Joe Biden withdrew from the race, giving way for Vice President Kamala Harris to become the party's nominee.

And it spawned new questions about Secret Service protective operations after the agency's admitted failures in preventing the this summer.

The man who was detained had a calm, flat demeanor and showed little emotion when he was stopped, according Martin County Sheriff William Snyder.

In an email to supporters, Trump said: 69制片厂制作传媒淭here were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!69制片厂制作传媒� He wrote: 69制片厂制作传媒淣othing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER!69制片厂制作传媒�

He returned to Mar-a-Lago, his private club in Palm Beach where he lives, according to a person familiar with Trump's movements who was not authorized to discuss them publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

It was not immediately clear how the development would affect his schedule or campaign dynamics. Trump was set to speak from Florida about cryptocurrency live on Monday night on the social media site X and had stops planned Tuesday and Wednesday in Michigan and on New York's Long Island.

Biden and Harris were briefed on the matter and each issued a statement condemning political violence. Harris' added that she was 69制片厂制作传媒渄eeply disturbed69制片厂制作传媒� by the day's events and that 69制片厂制作传媒渨e all must do our part to ensure that this incident does not lead to more violence.69制片厂制作传媒�

Biden said he had directed his team to ensure the Secret Service "has every resource, capability and protective measure necessary to ensure the former President69制片厂制作传媒檚 continued safety.69制片厂制作传媒�

In the aftermath, Trump checked in with allies, including running mate Ohio Sen. JD Vance, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham and several Fox News hosts. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he spent several hours with Trump and called him 69制片厂制作传媒渦nstoppable.69制片厂制作传媒�

Fox News host Sean Hannity recounted on air his conversation with the former president's golf partner, Steve Witkoff.

They had been on the fifth hole and about to go up to putt when they heard a 69制片厂制作传媒減op pop, pop pop.69制片厂制作传媒� Within seconds, he said Witkoff recounted, Secret Service agents 69制片厂制作传媒減ounced" on Trump and 69制片厂制作传媒渃overed him69制片厂制作传媒� to protect him.

Trump had returned to Florida this weekend from a West Coast swing that included a Friday night rally in Las Vegas and a Utah fundraiser. His campaign had not announced any public plans for Trump on Sunday. He often spends the morning playing golf.

Trump has had a stepped-up security footprint since the assassination attempt in July. When he is at Trump Tower in New York, parked dump trucks have formed a wall outside the building. At outdoor rallies, he now speaks from behind bulletproof glass.

The Florida golf course was partially shut down for Trump as he played, but there are several areas around the perimeter of the property where golfers are visible from the fence line. Secret Service agents and officers in golf carts and on ATVs generally secure the area several holes ahead and behind Trump. Agents also usually bring an armored vehicle onto the course to shelter Trump quickly should a threat arise.

The Palm Beach County sheriff said the entire golf course would have been lined with law enforcement if Trump were the president, but because he is not, 69制片厂制作传媒渟ecurity is limited to the areas that the Secret Service deems possible.69制片厂制作传媒�

69制片厂制作传媒淚 would imagine that the next time he comes to the golf course, there will probably be a little more people around the perimeter," Bradshaw said. 69制片厂制作传媒淏ut the Secret Service did exactly what they should have done."

Late Sunday, Trump posted a message on social media thanking the Secret Service and law enforcement for keeping him safe, calling them 69制片厂制作传媒渂rave and dedicated Patriots,69制片厂制作传媒� adding that it was "certainly an interesting day!69制片厂制作传媒�

He was to be briefed in person Monday by acting Secret Service director Ronald Rowe about the investigation into the assassination attempt, according to a person familiar with the plan for the briefing who was not authorized to speak publicly.

Former presidents and their spouses have Secret Service protection for life, but the security around former presidents varies according to threat levels and exposure, with the toughest measures typically being taken in the immediate aftermath of their leaving office.

Trump69制片厂制作传媒檚 protective detail has been higher than some other former presidents because of his high visibility and his campaign to seek the White House again.

The man in custody was Ryan Routh, three law enforcement officials told the AP. The officials who identified the suspect spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation.

Records show Routh, 58, lived in North Carolina for most of his life before moving to Hawaii in 2018. In 2020, he made a social media post backing Trump's reelection, but in more recent years his posts have expressed support for Biden and Harris.

Routh tried to recruit Afghan soldiers fleeing the Taliban to fight in Ukraine, and spent several months in the country, according to an interview with The New York Times last year.

The FBI was leading the investigation and working to determine any motive. Attorney General Merrick Garland was receiving regular updates. Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were helping investigate.

69制片厂制作传媒淭he FBI has responded to West Palm Beach Florida and is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Trump,69制片厂制作传媒� the bureau said.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, said the state would do its own investigation, posting on X that, 69制片厂制作传媒淭he people deserve the truth about the would be assassin and how he was able to get within 500 yards of the former president and current GOP nominee.69制片厂制作传媒�

News reporters were not with Trump on Sunday. Bucking tradition, Trump69制片厂制作传媒檚 campaign has not arranged to have a protective pool of reporters travel with him, as is standard for major party nominees and for the president. Harris does not have a protective pool at all times, but does allow reporters to travel with her for public events.

Snyder, the Martin County sheriff, said the suspect was apprehended within minutes of the FBI, Secret Service and Palm Beach County Sheriff69制片厂制作传媒檚 Office putting out a 69制片厂制作传媒渧ery urgent BOLO69制片厂制作传媒� 69制片厂制作传媒� or 69制片厂制作传媒渂e on the lookout69制片厂制作传媒� alert.
