An attempted assassination against a former U.S. President typically involves a planned or executed attack aimed at causing harm or death to the individual. These incidents usually prompt immediate action from law enforcement agencies, including the Secret Service and the FBI, to ensure the safety of the former president and to apprehend the perpetrator(s). Investigations are conducted to uncover the motives behind the attack, any possible accomplices, and to assess the broader security implications. Public and media attention often follows such events, highlighting concerns over political violence and the protection of former leaders.
