5:54Now PlayingDonald Trump has spoken for the first time about what appeared to be the second assassination attempt on his life.
Speaking in a livestream on social media platform X, the Republican presidential candidate said he and a friend were "grabbed" by agents and bundled into golf carts as gunfire rang out.
Secret Service personnel several hundred metres away had spotted the barrel of a rifle poking out of foliage. After opening fire, agents pursued the suspect, who dropped his weapon and drove away, but was later arrested on a highway.
The suspect, identified as 58-year-old Ryan Routh, did not fire any shots himself, the Secret Service has said.
Routh appeared in a Florida court Monday to face gun possession charges. Investigations by the FBI and the state of Florida continue.
