Former President Donald Trump is safe following gunshots at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. A statement from Trump’s campaign spokesperson, Steven Cheung, confirmed his safety, adding, “No further details at this time.”
The shooting occurred while Trump was golfing, accompanied by his Secret Service detail. Law enforcement detained a “person of interest” and recovered a weapon, as reported by the New York Times.
The shooter’s identity and motive remain unclear. CNN cited security sources suggesting that Trump might have been the intended target.
Donald Trump Jr. later confirmed an AK-47 rifle was found in bushes near Trump’s exit point. He shared this update on social media, emphasizing the weapon’s proximity to his father.
The White House responded quickly, with President Joe Biden stating, “There is no place for violence in our country.” Vice President Kamala Harris expressed relief over Trump’s safety on social media.
This incident follows a recent shooting at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania, where Trump was slightly wounded. The US Secret Service, responsible for presidential protection, has faced scrutiny since that attack. The agency’s head, Kimberly Cheatle, resigned after the Pennsylvania incident, and several agents were placed on administrative leave.
