[music playing] good evening im jonathan. Were following Breaking News on the apparent Assassination Attempt against trump. Authorities have one person in custody and recovered an ak47 and a scope at the scene. Secret Service Agents spotted a weapon in the bushes outside trumps west Palm Beach Golf course when it opened fire. Prompting the suspect to flee the scene. Heres what authorities said at a Press Conference in just the last hour. This afternoon, a call of shots fired. We were notified of that and we had units here that immediately sealed off the area. Fortunately we were able to locate a witness that came to us and said hey i saw the guy running out of the bushes. He jumped into a black nissan and i took a picture of the vehicle and the tag. Which was great. So, we had that information, our Realtime Crime Center put it out to the License Plate readers. And we were able to get a hit on that vehicle on i95 as it was headed into Martin County. We got ahold of Martin County Sheriffs Office. Alerted them. And they pulled the vehicle over and detained the guy. After that we took the victim, im sorry the witness that witnessed the incident, flew him up there and he identified as the person that he saw running out of the bushes that jumped into the car. Now, in the bushes where this guy was is an Ak47 Style Rifle with a scope, two backpacks which were hung on the fence that had Ceramic Tile in them and a Go Pro which he was going to take pictures of. So those are being processed right now. The secret Service Agent that was on the course did a fantastic job. What they do is, they have an agent that jumps one hole ahead of time toward where the president was at. He was able to spot this rifle that was sticking out of the fence and immediately apprehend the vehicle at the time the individual took off. We have a personal in custody that is a potential suspect. We have a little more work to do on it but as we usually do. As soon as we decide were going to book him into the County Jail and the charges hes going to be booked into. Well get those to you and well get a picture to you and well get his background. Trump is now back at Mara Lago and his spokesperson says hes fine. And the president just reu released a statement. Frank, thank you very much for being here. A couple of questions for you, from all the information we just heard from the clip of the Press Conference we just showed, what stands out to you,. Reporter wow so many take aways here jonathan. Number one this person came very, very close to killing either secret Service Agents and or a nominee for the Republican Party for president. Technology worked today. The License Plate reader, the witness. Old Fashion Police Work and we see newfangled Police Work with regard to the witness who took a picture of the License Plate. Theres a Toll Booth off of 95 that they spot this License Plate. Martin County Sheriff pulls the car over 45 miles north of the gulf course. But theres so much going on here. You know you just heard the sheriff refer to a backpack with Ceramic Tiles in it. What he might be referring to here is the ceramic plates that get inserted into Body Armour that defend you against high powered rifle shots. So he might have been prepared to be shot at with high powered rifles. Hes probably going to talk. Hes probably going to be able to tell us why he did this in his diluted mind. We have to try to make sense of the senseless. And Theres Something that i want to get off my chest which is quite obvious. This is now a second Assassination Attempt. They are challenged in Open Carry states with regard to open air events. Have we reached the place in our society where the guns have prevented us from protecting ourselves. And even the most protected people in our country. Thats an excellent point about protecting elected officials in Open Carry states. You mentioned the Ceramic Tiles frank and what they might be used for. I also found it interesting a Go Prothey found attached to the fence. Is that, usual . Is that something that, that has been found at other potential Crime Scenes like this . We have had shootings and mass shootings in this country. Within the last couple of years, that have been live streamed. So its quite possible that this individual was thinking about or was actually planning on live streaming this either on some platform he was on. And this is not unusual. You can now live stream an Assassination Attempt. We dont know if that was the attempt. But the Go Pro might be the reason was there. Frank, let me ask you about the whip for a moment. Weapon for a moment. Its a question i asked earlier. The ar47, is it generally a russian made weapon but the fact that its an ak47. Were more accustomed to hearing about ar15s as We Saw in Butler Pennsylvania or those that are modified to be more like ar15s as many of the mass shootings we see around this country. It strikes me as a little unusual to hear that an ak47 was used in this incident. Its the ar15 and those style weapons that become the Weapon Of Choice for shootings. But ak47 is a bit different. A bit odd. It was produced in russia 1948, 1949 its been around forever and continues to be upgraded and reproduced. And the family of weapons that can be produced elsewhere. Were not sure if this was the real Mccoy Or Something in the family of ak47. The range is hundreds of yards. Thats what were talking about here. Its as scary if not more than the ar15. It could be a very old weapon. We dont know where thats been. Where he got it from. The atf is scrambling im sure right flow to trace that weapon. Was it stolen, did he have legal possession of it. Where did it come from. Its an old weapon, has been around forever. Now we hear theres a scope. Theres a scope. We were prepared to take, where attacks are on internet. The likelihood it would happen again i think frightens everyone in this country so soon after the fact. Although we know theres people out there who are self radicalized by the fact they see what one Mass Killing does and then thinks i think i can match that or even one up it. I would think its safe to assume that with a high degree of possibility, that when they go through this guys social media. His google searches and everything else. Id be surprised if they dont find references and searching regarding butler, pennsylvania and perhaps other Assassination Attempts. If you see it as we mentioned in all the school shootings. They seem to emulate each other. Its almost as if the seed of the idea is planted in their heads and if theyre seeking Fame Or Infamy or martyrdom. This is a way to have your voice heard. Send some kind of message i am here. Specifically if youve been someone whos been largely ignored. Dont be surprised if the fbi or Secret Service has him some where in their radar. He may be somebody who theyve heard from. But School Shooters are emulating and studying previous shooters and why would it be different for adults who are looking at infamy, the Copy Cat Factor is real. We have new reporting from our colleagues, Kelly Odonnell and jonathan dienst. The person is ryan Wesley Routh. Im not sure if im pronouncing his name correctly. Born on february 18, 1966. The one thing that makes Todays Incident different from what happened in butler, pennsylvania, the Assassination Attempt there is ryan Wesley Routh is alive. The alleged, the alleged assailant in p. A. Was killed by Law Enforcement there. So Law Enforcement had to comb through his social media. Talk about the significance that ryan Wesley Routh is alive and in police custody. What that means for the investigation going forward. Well, so its interesting. Obviously, it may be easier to get that key question answered about motivation. The key question answered perhaps about whether theres coconspirators, accomplices. When did he start thinking about this and why you could learn an awful lot. In regards to investigation, clearly were looking at a criminal prosecution. It will likely go federal. You heard the Sheriff Talk about we have the guy in county custody. Well be doing charges. You saw the District Attorney at the Press Conference. Dont be surprised if those local State Charges turn over to federal charges if its determined that this in fact, a real Assassination Attempt or even an assault on federal agents with regard to Secret Service. The key here is you know have a subject that youre going to prosecute. Youre going to interrogate. Of course hes been read his miranda rights. Thats his Right And Privilege but, we can learn an awful lot from a subject whos captured alive. You know, frank, were obviously close to 50 days out from the election. It is the most intense period of campaigning for these candidates. It is what it all comes down to and well talk about this in a minute. As to whether or not it changes anything for the Trump Campaign. But from a Security Point of view from a Law Enforcement secret Service Point of view. The matrix is changing all the time. The fact that this has happened twice within months. And connections over seas that have not yet materialized. We know theres hostile state actors, Nonstate Actors that have vowed to go after the former president. You have people in this country as you just eluded to mentally troubled that may be going after the former president. All of these threats, would it require the Secret Service to encourage the former president to change anything in the way he goes about his business . So, theres an inevitable sit down with protectees across the secret Service Spectrum about open air events. This is going to happen. I guarantee you. The question i cant, i Cant Answer right now is whether each protectee is going to go with the program. In other words will Donald Trump if encouraged by the Secret Service to stop golfing or to change Golf Courses or do something thats far more protected. Will he abide by that. I think in these next few weeks i would take the word of the protective service. I think were already living in a world where nominees are speaking from behind Bullet Proof barriers. Where are the perimeter. The more you move the perimeter out. Were already hearing the shooter was behind the Fence Line of the Golf Course, where do you put your perimeter . How many agents. How many Police Officers do you need an entire square acre . Do you need miles of perimeter. These are questions that almost cant be answered because theyre cost prohibitive and resource prohibitive. Frank figliuzzi, thank you for being with us this evening. And were joined by von hilliard. Walk us through what the reaction has been this afternoon. Im told by a source familiar that unfolded there was that Donald Trump was on the fifth hole of his west Palm Beach Golf course. Along With Wilcox who is a friend. That point in time when they heard multiple gunshots it was not clear if it was the Secret Service was the lone to shoot or this gunman. We know at that point in time the Secret Service then covered Donald Trump and took him to the Golf Course where he held far while before returning him to maralago. I think youre at a moment where youre 50 days out from a general election. I dont think you could have under stated the gravity of this here. Were talking about two attempted Assassination Attempts. We know from our conversations with people who are voters, americans on the ground that there are fears of violence, further violence in the country. And where is the united states heading here. We have heard talk of potential civil war. We have, we will watch January 6th unfold and the willingness of thousands of individuals to go and attack Police Officers. We have watched Members Of Congress be shot at. We have watched now a former president of the united states apparently two attempted assassinations. It is cause for alarm and concern, We Saw in the immediate aftermath after the pennsylvania attack. Donald trump went to the republican convention, at least his tenor was more solemn. A little re retrospective. That quickly changed. I think the rhetoric of the Politics Today is intense. In any Way Anybody would stand by any actions being taken. On the Trump Campaign, you have Campaign Staffers who are now involved in two incidents here. You have secret Service Agents who are there putting their lives on the line. Protecting him. These are a detail that follow around Donald Trump around the country. He was just on the west coast swing. I was just out there at the press rally. He was just there in Los Angeles where there were Secret Service. That were stationed with their snipers. They were looking out across the Golf Course there. You have folks that are on high understanding that Donald Trump is a target. We know iran had a plot of an Assassination Attempt according to the department of just at Justin Smith justice. Its not clear who this person is. But theres No Doubt that candidates are a target. Bring us inside the thinking of the Trump Campaign and maybe have a bit of a political discussion. Because the Trump Campaign, sent out a Fund Raising text and a Fund Raising email within a couple of hours of this incident. Im not going to read what E Mail says. But can you tell us the thinking inside the Trump Campaign where they found thought it, right and appropriate to fund raise off of a second now second Assassination Attempt. I do not have the answer to that jonathan. Other than, i saw the email and the Text Messages that youre referring to here. This is a campaign that, you know, i dont know. I mean the situation around this here is tough, jonathan. I dont want to minimize the threat that the former president faced in any way. I dont know exactly what is behind the campaigns thinking on their part. They reached out to a couple. The notes do the talking. Donald trump we should note he of course had no Campaign Events today. He was playing golf. He has no campaign stops tomorrow. He has stops in michigan on tuesday and in north carolina. All of this is happening at a time when early ballots are going out in several states this week. Thursday. Voters are going to start to receive their mail in ballots here. I think objectively, as a reporter, having conversations with folks around the country on the ground. I think that this only increases the concern about violence in our politics here today. And in no way should any individual be targeted and around the campaigns die Tphapl Eubs Dynamics and who is making the decisions to send Fund Raising. In many ways this is Playing Realtime for the Trump Family and a Campaign Staff that is figuring out what their candidate is being targeted. Exactly how to respond. And i think thats a question of course well be looking at here in these days ahead. As we heard earlier from the Vice President ial running Mate J. D. Vance that he was in good spirits.
