Suspect did not fire shots and never had sight of Trump, says Secret Service chief – video | Donald Trump

Ronald Rowe Jr, acting director of the Secret Service, said that once an agent detected the suspect in the second apparent assassination attempt of Donald Trump armed with a rifle, he discharged his firearm before the suspect fled. ‘He did not fire or get off any shots at our agent,’ Rowe said. ‘With reports of gunfire, the former president’s close protection detail immediately evacuated the president to a safe location.’ Rowe also told reporters that Trump was ‘out of sight of the gunman’ during his unscheduled visit to the golf club
