      Dude was camped out in the bushes waiting for Trump to get closer while golfing. Secret Service spotted him while doing a sweep and opened fire. How is that a nothing story?

      The gunman was spotted about 400 to 500 yards (365 to 457 meters) from where Trump was playing

      That’s not “nowhere near”. That’s not much more than the effective range of an AK-47 (~300 yards). If the guy wasn’t an idiot, or the Secret Service was failing at their jobs again, Trump would have walked right into range.
