Watch a live view of Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida, on the morning after the assassination attempt on former US president Donald Trump.
The Republican presidential candidate for the upcoming November election was safe on Sunday 15 September after the Secret Service foiled what the FBI called an apparent assassination attempt while he was golfing.
Several Secret Service agents fired on a gunman in bushes near the property line of the golf course after he was spotted a few hundred yards from where Mr Trump was playing, law enforcement officials said.
The suspect left an AK-47-style assault rifle and other items at the scene and fled in a vehicle and was later arrested.
The apparent attempt on Mr Trump’s life came just two months after he was shot at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, sustaining a minor injury to his right ear.
Both incidents highlight the challenges of keeping presidential candidates safe in a hotly contested and polarised campaign with just over seven weeks to go before the 5 November election.
