Florida investigating apparent assassination attempt on Trump, DeSantis says

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has announced that the state will conduct its own investigation into the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at his golf club. The FBI is also investigating the incident, which occurred when a suspect fired gunshots near Trump, who was 300-500 yards away. The suspect was apprehended by a Secret Service agent. The incident has prompted bipartisan calls for increased security for Trump. Governor DeSantis stated that the public deserves to know the truth about the suspect and how he managed to get so close to Trump.
