For a second time in just over two months, the F.B.I. and the Secret Service are investigating what the authorities described as an attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump.

The latest incident happened Sunday afternoon at Mr. Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Fla., where Secret Service agents spotted a person concealed in the bushes and holding a rifle while Mr. Trump was golfing. The Secret Service shot at the man, law enforcement officials said. Mr. Trump, who was a few hundred yards away, was not injured, unlike in the previous attempt, when he was shot in the ear at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13. By Maggie Astor, ‘New York Times’
