US authorities have identified the suspect who shot Mr. Donald Trump.
The New York Times and Fox News identified the suspect as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, from Hawaii, but the news agencies did not provide further details.
Speaking to reporters, Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said the shooter was 365-457 meters away from Mr. Trump and fired at least four times at around 1:30 p.m. on September 15 (local time). After being discovered, the suspect abandoned the rifle, two black bags and other items and fled in a black car. However, he was later arrested.
Meanwhile, Mr. JD Vance, Donald Trump's running mate, said he had spoken to the former US President and that Mr. Trump was still healthy and in good spirits.
This is the second shooting targeting Mr. Trump in just 2 months.
