Good morning. We're covering a second attempted assassination of Donald Trump. We also have the latest on a judicial overhaul in Mexico, flooding in Africa and the Emmy winners.

An armed threat

For the second time in just over two months, federal officials say, a man armed with a rifle attempted to assassinate Donald Trump. A Secret Service agent spotted a man with a gun at Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach, Fla., yesterday and fired at him before the man could hit anyone. Trump was unharmed, and the police arrested a suspect.

In today's newsletter, we'll share what we know about the episode and the suspect.

Trump was golfing at his club in West Palm Beach yesterday afternoon with a few staff members and a longtime friend. A Secret Service agent traveling ahead of Trump noticed the barrel of a rifle sticking through a fence along the course. The agent quickly fired shots toward the gunman, the Palm Beach County sheriff said.

The gunman fled, and it's not clear whether he fired any shots. He left behind an AK-style rifle with a scope; two backpacks filled with ceramic tile, which he had hung on a fence; and a video camera.

A witness's photo allowed the police to track the suspect as he drove up Interstate 95, and he was arrested a short time later. A law enforcement source identified him as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, of Hawaii.

Not long after the shooting, Trump sent an email to supporters saying, "Before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!" People close to him said that he was shaken but upbeat, and that he had joked about not getting to finish what had been a good round of golf.

President Biden said he was briefed on the attempted shooting. "I am relieved that the former president is unharmed," Biden said. "As I have said many times, there is no place for political violence or for any violence ever in our country."

Vice President Kamala Harris said she was "deeply disturbed" by the assassination attempt.

The suspect

Routh's social media history shows a penchant for violent language and an obsession with the war in Ukraine. He wrote in 2022 that he was willing to fight and die to defend that country. The Times interviewed him in 2023 for an article about Americans volunteering to aid the war effort in Ukraine. Routh, who had no military experience, said he had traveled there after Russia's invasion. (Read the reporter describe his call with Routh.)

Since 2019, Routh has made several small donations totaling $140 to ActBlue, a political action committee that supports Democrats, The Associated Press reported. He had also criticized Trump on social media, according to CNN.

The Martin County, Fla., sheriff said that Routh was unarmed and showed little emotion when deputies arrested him. The F.B.I. is leading the investigation.

At last night's Emmys, "Shogun," FX's big-budget drama about feudal Japan, won best drama, earning 18 awards overall (the most wins for a show in a single year). "Hacks" — a Max series about two female comedians — took home best comedy, beating out the favorite, "The Bear." However, Jeremy Allen White, Liza Colón-Zayas and Ebon Moss-Bachrach of "The Bear" scooped individual acting awards. Elsewhere, Netflix's out-of-nowhere hit "Baby Reindeer" won several awards in the limited series category. See a full list of the winners.
