US presidential candidate Donald Trump, who has survived two assassination attempts within two months, told a Fox News reporter that he is worried about the lives of his family members.
“Yes, I usually don’t talk about this, but I have to worry about my family,” Trump stated.
The first attempt on Trump’s life occurred during his campaign speech in Pennsylvania on July 13, when Trump was injured in the ear, one bystander was killed, and two others were wounded. The US Secret Service reported that they had neutralized the suspect, who had fired several shots towards the stage from the rooftop of a nearby industrial building about 100 meters away from the event venue.

The second attempt on Trump’s life took place on September 15 near a golf club in Florida. According to law enforcement, Secret Service agents opened fire on the perpetrator, who was hiding in the bushes.
The man fled and attempted to escape by car but was apprehended. A search of the area where he was spotted revealed an AK-47 rifle with a scope, two backpacks, and a GoPro action camera. The FBI has joined the investigation.
