Florida Gov. DeSantis says state will conduct investigation into second Trump assassination attempt
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Sunday that his state will conduct a separate investigation into how a second gunman was able to get within 500 yards of former President Trump.
The former president was playing a round at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, when the U.S. Secret Service opened fire on Ryan Wesley Routh, who was allegedly armed with a rifle.
Authorities said Routh had a GoPro camera and two backpacks, and allegedly shoved the muzzle of his rifle through a chain-linked fence about 300 to 500 yards away from the former president.
The agents fired at Routh after they saw him raising the weapon, Fox News’ Lucas Tomlinson confirmed. Routh then fled in a black Nissan but was apprehended quickly, authorities said.

Trump was on the fifth hole of his course when the shots rang out, prompting his protective detail to swarm him and usher him to the safety of the clubhouse. It marks the second assassination attempt on Trump in just two months.
As more information comes out about what is being investigated as an attempted assassination on Trump’s life, DeSantis announced Florida will conduct its own investigation to find out what happened at Trump International Golf Club.
“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 said in a post on X.
TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT: WHISTLEBLOWERS CLAIM THAT THEY WERE ‘WOEFULLY UNPREPARED’ TO PROVIDE SECURITY

This is the second time in 64 days that a gunman has been able to get within close proximity of the president with a gun.
On July 13, Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, from the roof of a building nearly 150 yards away from the stage.
Crooks fired off eight rounds, one of which grazed Trump’s ear. A slight movement to the left or right may have resulted in serious brain damage or even possible death.

A man attempted to assassinate Trump at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday.
The investigation into how Crooks was able to gain access to the top of a building that was not manned, yet was so close to Trump, is being conducted by a group of bipartisan lawmakers, including Mike Kelly, R-Pa., and Jason Crow, D-Colo.
The two lawmakers released a statement Sunday, saying they requested a briefing with the U.S. Secret Service about the events leading up to another attempted assassination on Trump, this time in West Palm Beach.

“We are thankful that the former President was not harmed but remain deeply concerned about political violence and condemn it in all of its forms,” the two wrote.

A Boston man is planning on traveling and doing some home improvement projects after he won $4 million on a lottery ticket sold at a convenience store in Waltham, Massachusetts.
The Mass. State Lottery says Tayoan De Lima Santos, of Dorchester, is the winner of the “$4,000,000 Lion’s Share” instant ticket game. He purchased his ticket at Mike’s Fuel & Food Mart.
The store, located at 1455 Trapelo Road, will receive a $40,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
Santos chose the cash option on his prize, the state lottery said, and he received a one-time payment of $2,600,000.
He didn’t say where he wants to travel, but with that sum, even before taxes, he’ll probably have quite a few places to choose from.
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing to stick with Justin Fields at quarterback once again, with head coach Mike Tomlin announcing the team is planning to start the young QB in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Steelers are still waiting for Russell Wilson to turn to full strength after suffering a calf injury in training camp and then aggravating the injury prior to Week 1 in practice. While they continue to allow Wilson to recover, they’re focused on the players they have healthy, and are moving forward with Fields in Week 3.
Tomlin said Wilson is not scheduled to be a full participant in practice this week and until he is, they will stick with Fields. “We’ll stay in that mindset until something else happens,” Tomlin said on sticking with Fields.
Fields is 2-0 this season, throwing for 273 yards and a touchdown, completing 30 of 43 passes in the first two games. He has not caused a turnover this season.
NFL insiders have made it known that Fields could have control of the job long-term after starting undefeated.
“Russell Wilson is working his way back and as long as that’s the case Justin Fields is the starter. You’re not gonna take the guy out of the lineup when you’re winning football games,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter said.
The Steelers will not shut down Wilson this early in the week and will leave the door open for Wilson to play. If he is inactive, the team will still utilize him as the emergency quarterback as they have through the first two games.
The backup will be Kyle Allen. Wilson will only be eligible to play as the emergency QB if both Fields and Allen are unable to play.
