New images reveal the backpack, GoPro camera and AK-47 style rifle that a gunman left behind when fleeing the scene where he was attempting to assassinate Donald Trump.
Law enforcement held a press conference in West Palm Beach on Sunday after the FBI announced it is investigating a second assassination attempt against Donald Trump in just two months.
The former president was rushed to safety on Sunday after multiple shots were fired in his vicinity while he was playing golf at his club in West Palm Beach.
A suspected gunman is in custody after the terrifying incident at Trump International Club almost exactly two months after a gunman tried to take out Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Trump confirmed in a statement about an hour after the incident that he is 'safe and well' and didn't want rumors to 'start spiraling out of control.'
The 2024 Republican nominee's bulked up Secret Service advance team spotted the shooter in the tree lines just two holes from where Trump was golfing.
The FBI now says two hours after the incident that the attack 'appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Trump.'
The armed suspect was posted up outside the club around the 5th and 6th hole, which a source familiar with the incident told DailyMail.com is a 'vulnerable' area of the course.
Palm Beach Sheriff Ric Bradshaw detailed that the suspected assassin was wielding an 'AK-47 style weapon with a scope', which was recovered at the scene.
So was a backpack and GoPro camera, which Sheriff Bradshaw revealed in images of where the suspect was set-up in the bushes along the fencing of Trump's golf club.

interesting to see what’s on that Go-Pro.
I don’t think that’s an AK, stock is completely different. Looks more like a Mini-14.
“The man's social media is filled with recruiting people to go fight for Ukraine, pleas for Taiwan and anti-Israel content. More info soon.” https://t.co/5wpydB2fMn— Grace Chong 🇺🇸 (@gc22gc) September 15, 2024
IOW, a flaming liberal.
They’re gonna keep trying. Sorry to have to say. They definitely don’t want to lose the power they grabbed rigging the 2020 election.
The gun he had had a scope, my God just unreal, how many more times does Trump need his life but in danger like this by deranged leftists
Liberals again are alternating crying and cursing.
Here’s a line that won’t be included in any of the news reports: “The gunman was motivated by the hateful rhetoric of Kamala Harris and the Democrats.”
LEOs should not have turned FBI perp boy back over to them
Also note there will be no calls for gun control.
