BREAKING: 2nd Possible assassination attempt on Trump while golfing

UPDATE: The shooter has been identified as Ryan Wesley Routh.

Former President Trump was on the golf course today in West Palm Beach when at about 1:30 p.m., shots were fired and the Secret Service immediately jumped in to protect him.

The suspect, a man, was caught down the highway.

The weapon used was an AK-47 rifle with a scope. There were backpacks with plates inside and a GoPro found and the alleged shooter fled and was caught on I 95 and identified by a witness who had seen the shooting. His rifle was sticking between the knapsacks so it appears that it was planned.

Questions should be asked: 

How can this happen again? 

Why wasn't the entire golf course fully covered by agents? 

Is the witness under protection? 

How did the shooter know Trump would be on the golf course?

When the shooter was caught, why didn't they show him on the police cams that showed the stop but not the person in the SUV?

The shooter was about 300 to 500 yards away, it was revealed at a press conference with the local police, the FBI and Secret Service.

The local law enforcement said that since Trump is not the current President, he's just the present candidate and he does not get the same protection. 

We now know, however, the threat level is high and the Secret Service kind of sucks.

They keep telling us how "fantastic" the Secret Service is but some people may have doubts. The excuse the FBI gave was that we live in violent times now.

No s**t Sherlock.

This is still developing.
