Wake up with the Washington Examiner: Another assassination attempt and chaos in Oakland

Published September 16, 2024 8:26am ET



Another assassination attempt

Former President Donald Trump had just 65 days of relative peace and security between attempts on his life. Secret Service agents protecting the former president were more proactive on Sunday than they were in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump was shot. 

It’s not clear whether the “shots fired” reported by agents to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office yesterday afternoon only came from Secret Service agents. But instead of dealing with a medical emergency involving the former and possibly future president, law enforcement arrested one man and didn’t have to report any loss of life.
