The suspect in the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump, Ryan Wesley Routh, had previously indicated on social media that he voted for Trump in 2016 but later expressed disappointment and a desire for him to be gone. Routh was also involved in efforts to send people to fight in Ukraine and had multiple run-ins with the law. The US Secret Service confirmed that one or more agents opened fire on Routh, who was armed with an AK-47 style rifle, near Trump's golf course. Routh escaped but was later arrested. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed shock at the assassination attempt and called for measures to prevent such attacks in the future.
