The FBI said it was investigating the matter as a possible assassination attempt. The incident comes just two months after the former president was shot in the ear at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump thanked law enforcement, including the Secret Service, for keeping him safe during the incident. “I have been briefed by my team regarding what federal law enforcement is investigating as a possible assassination attempt of former President Trump today. A suspect is in custody, and I commend the work of the Secret Service and their law enforcement partners for their vigilance and their efforts to keep the former President and those around him safe,” Biden’s X account posted.

None. Zero. Never. I've always condemned political violence and I always will. pic.twitter.com/NMyStu01nM — Acyn (@Acyn) September 16, 2024 Axios reports: Biden said on Monday that additional resources could include more personnel. Acting Secret Service director Ronald Rowe is reportedly in Florida visiting the scene as apart of the ongoing investigation into the incident and is expected to meet with Trump Monday, CNN reports. Members of Congress from both parties have called for Trump to receive more protection in the aftermath of the incident. Trump’s Secret Service protection is more limited than it would be if he were the sitting president. The first assassination attempt against Trump spurred multiple federal and congressional investigations and eventually led to the resignation of then-Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle. “I have been briefed on reports of gunshots fired near former President Trump and his property in Florida, and I am glad he is safe.
