Desantis On Trump: Florida Will Be Conducting A Parallel Investigation Into 'attempted Assassination'

Gov. Ron DeSantis announced on Sunday that state law enforcement will also be investigating the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump in Palm Beach County.

A suspected would-be assassin was in the custody of the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. The Republican presidential candidate was not injured during the shooting at about 1:30 p.m., as he played golf at the Trump International Golf Club, in West Palm Beach.

"The people deserve the truth about the would be assassin and how he was able to get within 500 yards of the former president and current GOP nominee," DeSantis wrote on X.

The FBI, the agency leading the investigation into the "apparent" assassination attempt had yet to release the suspect's identity. Law enforcement sources told ABC News and The Associated Press the suspect in custody was Ryan Wesley Routh. CNN reported Routh, 58, of Kaawa, Hawaii, has a minor arrest record and lived in Greensboro, North Carolina.

The shooting comes about two months after the U.S. Secret Service killed a man who fired a rifle during an assassination attempt against Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. The bullet grazed Trump's ear.
