The attempted shooting is still being investigated by the FBI, though suspect Ryan Wesley Routh has been caught.

According to reports, a Secret Service agent spotted a rifle sticking out of a fence on the golf course and "immediately engaged." Routh, who was 300 to 500 yards away from the businessman, 78, fled the scene in a car but was eventually apprehended with help from a witness.

This is the second time in the past two months that Trump has been the target of an assassination, as on July 13, Thomas Matthew Crooks fired shots during his rally in Butler, Penn.

One rally-goer was fatally stuck and killed by a bullet, while another grazed the ex-POTUS' ear. Crooks β€” who was situated on the roof of a nearby building β€” was shot dead by the Secret Service.
