Here's what we know so far

We're getting ready to close our live coverage of today's apparent assassination attempt, but before we do, here's a brief recap:

Mar-a-Lago club poses different set of security questions

Unlike other past presidents who live in private residences with tall fences or in gated communities, Trump has his official residence at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach. 

The club is open to dues-paying members, who mingle with the former president at meals and at events and can invite their own guests to the property.

Many nights, Trump holds court on the club's patio, playing DJ with his iPad. 

While president, he once plotted a response to a North Korean missile launch from the candlelit terrace.

The club is also a popular Palm Beach venue and hosts a constant stream of fundraisers, weddings and other events that sometimes see Trump drop by unannounced.

Security expert says access to AK-47-style assault rifle will be key part of investigation

Karen Greenberg, a US national security expert, says we still know little verifiable information about how this apparent assassination attempt. 

She says she imagines a lot of the preliminary investigation will revolve around the suspect's access to an AK-47-style assault rifle. 

She also says it is interesting that the suspect waited for Trump to get closer, despite the former president being within shooting distance. 

"Any distance that's in the proximity and shooting distance of the former president is too close," she tells ABC News Channel.

"But I think the key takeaway here is that they did stop this before it happened."

Eyewitness describes 'intense stand-off' between police and suspect

An eyewitness to law enforcement officers' pursuit of the suspect in the apparent assassination said the ordeal left him and his family "very, very scared". 

Daniel Rodriguez, 16, said he was leaving a soccer game with his mother and father on Sunday afternoon when he witnessed law enforcement vehicles speeding past in pursuit of a black Nissan.

The swarm of police, sheriff's deputies, and helicopters stopped traffic for roughly two hours, Mr Rodriguez said.

Using a pair of binoculars, Mr Rodriguez was able to see officers with firearms drawn as they surrounded the suspect's vehicle. 

"It looked like an intense stand-off," he said.

Mr Rodriguez noted he couldn't see the suspect himself.

Reporting with Reuters 

Pictures emerge of reported suspect's former home

Reuters has shared images of law enforcement officers checking what it says is the former home of Ryan Wesley Routh in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Routh has been indentified by Reuters, AP and US media as a suspect. 

Suspect remained silent, Palm Beach County state attorney says

Dave Aronberg, the state attorney for Palm Beach County, told CNN that the man detained in connection with the apparent assassination attempt remained silent when he was apprehended by law enforcement. 

"He knew enough to stay silent," Mr Aronberg told CNN

"He did not apparently speak to officers. He was calm. 

"So, it looked like a person who has done this before, not necessarily this crime, but someone who has had repeated interactions with law enforcement."

Mr Aronberg did not name the suspect but said he had a "rap sheet".

Investigation in early stages as head of Secret Service travels to Florida

It is almost 1am in Florida but the investigation is still very much in the early stages. 

The FBI has not yet verified the identity of the man arrested but the Associated Press and multiple US media outlets have named 58-year-old Hawaiian man Ryan Wesley Routh as the suspect. 

The head of the Secret Service is on his way to Florida as the agency works with the FBI. 

North America bureau chief Jade Macmillan has the latest on where the investigation is at here:

AP and US media identify alleged shooter with picture

An undated photograph shows Ryan Wesley Routh, a suspect identified by AP and US media, as the FBI investigates.

The FBI has declined to comment and the ABC has not independently verified his identity.

The ABC found profiles on X and LinkedIn for a Ryan Routh, who appeared to be the man identified as the suspect by those news organizations.

Trump thanks Secret Service, local police

Donald Trump has posted to his Truth Social platform for the first time since the suspected assassination attempt. 

He's thanked the Secret Service agents on the ground and the local police officers in Florida who responded. 

"I would like to thank everyone for your concern and well wishes - It was certainly an interesting day!

"Most importantly, I want to thank the U.S. Secret Service, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw and his Office of brave and dedicated Patriots, and, all of Law Enforcement, for the incredible job done today at Trump International in keeping me, as the 45th President of the United States, and the Republican Nominee in the upcoming Presidential Election, SAFE.

"THE JOB DONE WAS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. I AM VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!"
