Former President Donald Trump commended a civilian for their quick thinking and assistance in helping law enforcement officials locate a suspect involved in an apparent assassination attempt near his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Trump expressed his appreciation during a livestreamed conversation, highlighting the civilian's alertness and ability to follow the suspect's vehicle. The civilian's report included crucial details such as the suspect's license plate, which proved instrumental in tracking down the vehicle.
According to Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, the witness provided vital information that led to the suspect's apprehension. The witness reported seeing the suspect fleeing the scene and jumping into a black Nissan, capturing a photo of the vehicle and its license plate.
Thanks to the civilian's prompt action, law enforcement officials were able to locate the suspect's vehicle driving north on I-95 in Martin County, one county away from the initial incident. This information facilitated a high-speed chase that ultimately resulted in the suspect's capture.
Trump also commended the efforts of local law enforcement and the Secret Service for their swift response and successful apprehension of the suspect. He praised the coordination and efficiency displayed by all agencies involved in resolving the situation.
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of public vigilance and cooperation in maintaining public safety. The civilian's quick actions and willingness to report suspicious activity played a crucial role in preventing a potentially dangerous situation from escalating further.
