Multiple investigations are underway after what appears to be a second failed assassination attempt in just nine weeks on former US President Donald Trump. The man, armed with an AK47, had apparently been targeting Trump through bushes along a fenceline as he played golf on his course in West Palm Beach. Secret Service Agents noticed the man and fired shots but he fled in an SUV and was apprehended a short time later by police, leaving two backpacks and a gopro camera behind.CNN's Michael Yoshida spoke to Lisa Owen about what is currently known about the 58 year old suspect Ryan Wesley Routh.
