Assassination attempt
On September 15, 2024, an assassination attempt occurred at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. The incident occurred before 2 p.m. EDT, while Donald Trump was golfing at the club.[5] The perpetrator, later identified as 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, was spotted hiding in nearby shrubbery while aiming a rifle at a member of Trump's security detail.[6] A Secret Service agent fired upon Routh, who fled the scene.[7] The club's golf course was locked down shortly after,[8] and no injuries were reported.[9] Routh was detained while driving northbound on Interstate 95.[10][11][12]
Routh was indicted on charges of attempting to assassinate a presidential candidate and, in September 2025, was convicted on all counts. In February 2026, he was sentenced to life in prison.[13][14][15]
