Unharmed and at home hours after what the fbi is calling an apparent attempt on his life it is merrill lago resort. Earlier today. Actually, it was at his Golf Course earlier today. Vice president Kamala Harris just responded with a statement saying she is disturbed by the incident, condemning political violence and thinking the Secret Service officers who protected trump. President biden and governor Tim Walz have also issued statements of gratitude for the Secret Service and really for trumps safety. There is one person in custody. This is his picture. Ryan wesley routh, age 58 according to three senior law officials. Ak47 rifle and a scope were recovered from the scene at mar alago. Lets go to West Palm Beach and correspondent kathy park. What is the latest . Reporter outside of the Golf Course this Evening And Security is still very tight, several hours removed from this incident. I can tell you there has not been a lot of activity. Some Law Enforcement Passing by, but we know according to Law Enforcement who had a Press Conference earlier, there crediting the quick actions of a witness who saw the suspect running from the tall shrubbery that surrounds this property. This witness, apparently, took down the information, the Vehicle Information of the suspect right away and alerted authorities. Officials were able to track down the suspect along the interstate, and were told the suspect has been identified as 58yearold Ryan Wesley Routh. He was compliant and surrendered pretty quickly, but this took place earlier Today Right before 2 00 p. M. Between the fifth and sixth holes and typically, when he is playing a round of golf you have Secret Service surrounding him. They have this protective bubble and they get ahead of in to see if anything might be going wrong and in this case they did notice a Gunman Pointing toward the former president , and thats when the agents began firing several rounds. Its unclear if the suspect fired back and we are told there were no injuries. Local state of federal agents moved in quickly and secured this area and we are told at this hour there is no longer a threat. Members of the public, if they have any more information, there is to call the authorities right away. Back to you. Kathy park, Thank You. Joining is retired special agent. Thank you for joining us. It is late but there is no sleeping when you are the fbi and you are in charge of the investigation into the apparent second Assassination Attempt on a former president in a couple of months. What is happening right now with this investigation . He is being processed. Fingerprinted and photographed. Theres a couple things going on. You have somebody doing a deep dive into his background. We have social Media Exploitation teams and they are looking at is postings which i have seen some of online. Theres other analysts doing a background, what we know about him and prior military service, family members. They may be phones and ringing doorbell some people who knew him and associated with him. They are running his cars, plates, Social Media, friends, family, all of that is being gathered right now. First thing in the morning they will knock on doors of people who knew this guy, worked with him, had other professional association with him and they will tried to build a picture of with this guy was and why he might do this. There was at the Press Conference today conversations about other specialized teams that are already working. Take us inside the fbi and what kind of teams beside this team you talked about would be working right now . The Intelligence Analyst looking at Intelligence Chatter recently that could relate to something like this. Often times Intelligence Chatter comes in innocuous. They will go back and look at any Intelligence Chatter that might relate to this, if there is any. Theres other people analyzing his private life, his business associations, professional associations. He was Recruiting Fighters to fight for ukraine, i am sure there leads sent overseas. Any of those tabs a places to see if this guy lived or stayed there. Theres leads getting set for different offices so you have different teams doing different things, finances. They are looking at is banking records, Social Security Records and if they can get their hands on his Income Tax records. They are looking to do a deep dive in these aspects of his life. What are they doing with the gun right now . The ak47 and the scope they recovered at the scene . The first thing they will do is ditty fired during the course of this Interchange Or Interaction with the Secret Service. And they will know that immediately . Yes, they will know that very quickly or they probably know that already. Let me correct myself. They will see how he obtained it. If it had illegal things on it one of my friends who is a former sniper, he said it look like a Barrel Mightve been extended. An extended barrel on a weapon like that could extend the effective range. Talk about effective ranges, we need to know the Barrel Length and any other modifications to the weapon that may have been made. They are looking at those things, how a body, how long ago he bought it. Did he go to a Range And Practice with it and how long ago he did that. That could be in preparation of this act. They are looking at all of those things. Ditty modify the weapon . How long he had it and obtained a . A couple things they talked about at the Press Conference they found Ceramic Tiles. Ceramic tiles, thinking of something they put in their house. What does it say to you . He had potentially on a vest he thought he might get fired upon . Exactly. When i worked gangs in New York city, my kevlar vest had a ceramic plate that slid in the front. Its a square plate that is thick and it will stop a bullet from most rounds. Thats a ballistic countermeasure he had. It was, if it was hanging on the fence, so he was anticipating it Secret Service fired at him, he could take fire behind the ceramic plate and there are varying sizes. The one i wore fit my chest and torso. They are heavy and thick and they backed up the kevlar in my vest for higher powered weapons. He mightve been anticipating it looks like the thing on the left, the black thing on the left. It is thin and square like that because its supposed to protect your vital organs. We should say, those are photos that were provided at the Press Conference. The other thing we know is tragically and disgustingly, there are crimes that have been livestreamed for anybody who wants to watch them. He did have a Go Pro. I wonder if that suggests something to you. This online activity, whether or not either livestreaming or taping it thinking he could get away and post it later. I think he was trying to get as much publicity as possible out of this. Videotape or something like this is only for that purpose. It would be to get yourself attention and things like that. Whether he was livestreaming or filming it to post it later thinking he would get away, thats yet to be seen. Im sure they will examine that area of it. They will know if he was recording or livestreaming it. The first thing i thought of when i heard he had a Go Pro was those two things. He was either going to livestreaming to record it for posting later. Bobby chacon, Thank You for sharing your expertise. We mentioned this a moment ago. Vice president Kamala Harris released a statement on the apparent Assassination Attempt it said, quote, as we gather the facts, i will be clear. I condemn political violence. We all must do our part to ensure this incident does not lead to more violence. I am thankful that former President Trump is safe. With us is aaron gilchrest, White House correspondent. Whitmore have we heard from the biden administration since his apparent attempt happened . That statement you just read part of from Vice PresidentKamala Harris echoes what we heard from President Biden earlier tonight. There is this call for an end to the political violence we have seen as of late in this country. The Vice President went on as did President Biden in their statements to say the Secret Service, they directed their team to make sure the Secret Service has all the resources that it needs to carry out its mission of protecting in this instance former President Trump. We know the secret Service Director is either in or on his way to florida from two Secret Service officials, Kelly Odonnell earlier this evening, and you can imagine that he is going to be handson for the after Action Reporting on this from the Secret Service perspective. We know he is a former Police Officer in West Palm Beach, florida, and he was the Deputy Director the Secret Service prior to becoming the Actor Director this past summer. He wouldve been in charge of the daytoday operations of the agency. Now, he will be on the ground to get information about what happened there from the Secret Service perspective. He likely would be part of the president s daily Briefing Tomorrow Morning when he gets his update from his national Security And Homeland security from the secret Service Director in front of the cameras potentially, tomorrow, as this develops.

The message clear from nearly every single one of them. Democratic Senate Majority Leader chuck schumer, there is no place in this country for political violence of any kind. House Minority Leader hakeem jeffries. Political violence has no place in a democratic Society And SenateMinority LeaderMitch Mcconnell also said there is no place for political violence in our country. Mike Johnson City spent hours with Donald Trump Today and he Thanks God for protecting him. Joining me, California Congressman who also sits on the arms services committee. Its good to see you. Unfortunately these circumstances. As i am reading statement after statement after statement, it is appropriate. Political violence is abhorrent, but we are looking at the second apparent Assassination Attempt in little more than two months. Beyond condemning it, what can we do about it . First of all, All Of Us should be very happy that there was no attempt beyond what we see here. This former president is safe and all of our candidates are safe. Political violence is out and about in our country. What can we do about a . We obviously have to beef up police operations. That was discovered after the first Assassination Attempt in pennsylvania. The Secret Service was not up to it and herein lies a role for congress. The fiscal year ends at the end of this month. Right now, we are headed for a shutdown in which there would be no funding except for police activities including the Secret Service. There are many other aspects of government that need to be in plate to provide the safety for all political candidates whether they are County Supervisor or a person running for president of the united states. All across this land we have this problem. We need to provide the necessary police. Hence, congress has a responsibility in the next 2. 5 weeks. We have to meet that responsibility. Beyond that, we need to be alert. See something, say something. That was a mantra what, 10 years ago . See something. Say something. That requires All Of Us to be on the alert, not just those who are candidates but people out and about. The good news is somebody did take a picture of the car. They were able to apprehend the suspect very quickly. I wonder, given what you are saying and the fact that clearly there has been a call for more security for Donald Trump, particularly in light of this. Do you have confidence in the Secret Service, particularly considering what you have seen the last two months since the last incident which caused the previous Acting Head of the Secret Service to step down . I think we should be aware the recent congressional hearings that laid out a very shoddy operation for the Secret Service. We have a new person in charge now, Acting Director, the entire organization whether the personnel are shaken up, surely the individuals who are part of the Secret Service had a Rude Awakening they b
