Washington: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said on Sunday that the State of Florida would conduct its own investigation into an alleged assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump.

Earlier on Sunday, US Secret Service agents opened fire on a gunman that was 300-500 yards (270-450 meters) away from Trump at a golf course in Florida. Law enforcement detained a man in connection with the incident.

“The State of Florida will be conducting its own investigation regarding the attempted assassination at Trump International Golf Club,” DeSantis said on X.

People deserve the truth about the alleged assassin and how he was able to get within 500 yards of the former president and current Republican presidential nominee, DeSantis said.

US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene identified the alleged assassin as Ryan Wesley Routh, although the suspect’s identity has not been publicly confirmed by law enforcement.

Routh is “obsessed” with the conflict in Ukraine, Greene said. The congresswoman shared posts from social media accounts believed to belong to Routh, including a post from May related to getting invitations for soldiers to fight on behalf of Ukraine.

Trump also survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania in July.
