Donald Trump is safe after gunshots were fired near him at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, according to his campaign team. President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time, campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung stated. The incident occurred while Trump was golfing, accompanied by his Secret Service detail. Local law enforcement officials have detained a person of interest and recovered a weapon, as reported by the New York Times. Although there was no immediate evidence suggesting Trump was directly targeted, CNN cited sources indicating that the shots may have been intended for him.

Donald Trump Jr. mentioned that an AK-47 rifle was found in the bushes close to where Trump was departing. In response, President Joe Biden condemned the incident, emphasizing that there is no place for political violence or any violence ever in our country. He assured that all necessary resources and protective measures would be provided to the Secret Service for Trumps continued safety. Vice President Harris also expressed relief on social media, saying, I am glad he is safe.

This shooting comes just two months after Trump was injured in the ear during a shooting at a rally in Pennsylvania. The Secret Service faced criticism following the Pennsylvania incident, leading to the resignation of agency head Kimberly Cheatle and the administrative leave of at least five agents.
