https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/breaking-attempted-assassination-gunman...According to the Associated Press, the gunman pushed the muzzle of his rifle through the fence line at Trump’s golf course before Secret Service agents fired at him.
Law enforcement said the gunman was about 300 to 500 yards away from Trump.
“The golf course was partially shut down for Trump as he played, and agents were a few holes ahead of him when they noticed the person with the firearm, the officials said,” the AP reported.
“The person appeared to push the muzzle of the rifle through the fence line and that’s when agents fired, the officials said.” AP said.
According to reporters for The AP, there are several areas around the perimeter of Trump’s golf course where golfers are visible from the fence line.
It appears the gunman exploited a vulnerable part of the property’s perimeter.
“There are several areas around the perimeter of the property where golfers are visible from the fence line. News photographers learned those areas well so they could capture photos of Trump when he was golfing there as president.” AP reported.
The suspect ran out of the bushes and escaped in a black vehicle but he was arrested in Martin County.
Fox News host Sean Hannity said he spoke with Trump three times in the immediate aftermath of the shooting.
Hannity said Trump was on the 5th hole about to putt when he heard “pop, pop, pop, pop” — within seconds the Secret Service pounced on the president, covered him.”
“You had snipers with tripods…long story short… the gun has been found, they have identified it as an AK-47,” Hannity said.
Hannity said that law enforcement used drone footage to identify the suspect getting into his vehicle after dropping his firearm.
