What we know so far about Trump assassination attempt

The incident unfolded at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The gunman was spotted by Secret Service agents, who were ahead of Trump on the course to carry out security checks on holes the former president was heading towards.

The agents usually go one hole ahead of time to where Trump is, according to security officials.

County sheriff Ric Bradshaw said the shooter was set up in the bushes on the edge of the golf course near holes five, six and seven.

Agents spotted a rifle barrel poking out of bushes at around 13:30 local time (17:30 GMT).

He told a press conference the gunman was “in an area in the shrubbery where he could see both holes”.

Officials also said that Trump was about 300-500 yards (274-557m) away from the shooter.

Lines of thick shrubbery along Congress Avenue – the road on the right in the image below – would have given some cover to the suspect, if he had been hiding there.
