A Second Assassination Attempt?

SECOND ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT
The FBI says it's investigating what appears to be a second assassination attempt on US Presidential candidate Donald Trump. At Donald Trump's golf course in Florida, authorities are investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination on the former president, just two months after the last attempt, where a bullet hit Mr Trump's ear and left him injured.
While we don't know all the details yet, officials say a secret service agent spotted an armed person waiting nearby, while Mr Trump was playing a round of golf. A man has now been arrested and Mr Trump is safe. President Biden has released a statement saying he's relieved that Mr Trump wasn't hurt. Vice-President Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz, along with other politicians in the US and beyond, have made statements saying violence has no place in America.
