Former President Donald Trump is safe and uninjured after an individual reportedly opened fire at his golf course in Florida on Sunday.
“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time,” said Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesman.
“According to two people briefed on the incident, the former president was golfing at Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach early Sunday afternoon when agents heard gunshots. He was taken away to a holding room at the club. The Secret Service has long been concerned about Trump’s vulnerability on his golf courses, which remain open to parts of the public and are often near heavily trafficked areas,”
“No one was believed to have been hit by the shots, the people said. Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the incident occurred shortly before 2 p.m. The Secret Service and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office are jointly investigating the shooting and ‘will have more details soon,’ Guglielmi said on X. He repeated that Trump ‘is safe,’” the outlet added.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office apprehended a suspect on Florida’s Interstate 95 after he seemed to attempt to escape on foot, according to a Secret Service person briefed on the situation
