The FBI said former President Donald Trump was the target of "what appears to be an attempted assassination " at his golf club in West Palm Beach , Florida, on Sunday, just nine weeks after the Republican presidential nominee survived another attempt on his life .
Trump was shot during an assassination attempt at a July rally in Pennsylvania, and a bullet grazed his ear.
U.S. Secret Service agents opened fire on Sunday after seeing a person with a firearm near Trump's West Palm Beach golf club in Florida while he was golfing. No injuries were reported. Officials say the person fled in an SUV and was later apprehended by local law enforcement.
He was identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, three law enforcement officials told The Associated Press. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation.
Routh appeared in federal court in Florida Monday and was charged with federal gun crimes.
