Woman Motorist After Assassination Attempt

In a shocking incident over the weekend, Donald Trump has praised an “amazing” woman motorist who tailed an alleged gunman following an assassination attempt on the former president. The woman’s quick thinking and actions led to the suspect’s speedy arrest.

This is the second attempt on Trump’s life in two months, and the dramatic chain of events unfolded as the Republican presidential candidate recounted the story during a town hall meeting in Flint, Michigan.

Secret Service Saves Trump from Apparent Sniper’s Nest

During a routine round of golf, Trump’s Secret Service agents noticed something suspicious—a rifle muzzle emerging from the bushes. Acting quickly, they fired shots toward what appeared to be a sniper’s nest, causing the suspect to drop his weapon and flee into a black Nissan SUV. The agents successfully evacuated Trump without harm, and the chase for the suspect began.

Woman Motorist Helps Foil the Assassination Attempt

In an extraordinary turn of events, a civilian woman, who remains unnamed, played a critical role in the suspect’s capture. Trump praised her for her bravery, recounting how she saw the man behaving suspiciously and decided to follow him in her car. She took photos of the suspect’s license plate and immediately sent them to authorities. Thanks to her actions, police quickly intercepted the suspect, who was later identified and arrested on I-95.

Trump remarked on the woman’s sharp instincts, stating, “Women are smarter than men,” and said he would like to meet her in person to thank her.

Suspect in Custody, More Charges Expected

The suspect, whose name has not been released, was arrested and has been charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obstructed serial number. More charges are expected to follow as authorities continue the investigation.

This marks the second assassination attempt on Trump in as many months, raising concerns about the former president’s safety as he continues his campaign for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

Trump Praises Secret Service and Civilian Hero

During the Flint town hall, Trump lauded both his Secret Service team and the unnamed civilian woman who helped thwart the attack. He praised the agents for their swift actions and described the woman as “amazing” for her bravery.

“This woman saw something in this guy that was bad, and she took action. Who would do that?” Trump told the crowd, clearly impressed by her courage.
