WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A woman says she saw an SUV that belonged to the suspect responsible for the assassination attempt of former president Donald Trump surrounded by law enforcement Sunday.

Lenora Behmke said she saw a black SUV hidden in shrubbery surrounded by authorities.

"I knew something had happen, because it was just a vehicle in the bush. I didn't see another vehicle. I just saw police surrounding him," she told WPTV's Ethan Stein. "I didn't have to call the sheriff's office. They were already there. They were coming in all directions, making U-turns, they were blocking off all the streets and the exits."

Behmke told WPTV that she followed the U.S. Department of Homeland's Security's national campaign of if you see something unusual, you should report it to police.

"I was just driving by, so I did the right thing," she said. "See something, say something."
