Trump safe after gunshots reported near Florida golf club
The former president's campaign said gunshots were fired "in his vicinity," but that the GOP nominee was "safe."
Multiple gunshots were fired Sunday in the area near former President Donald Trump, who was at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Trump is “safe following gunshots in his vicinity,” according to Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung, who said the campaign would not provide “further details at this time.”
Anthony Gugliemi, the spokesperson for the Secret Service, said the Secret Service and the Palm Beach County (Fla.) Sheriff’s Office “is investigating a protective incident involving former President Donald Trump that occurred shortly before 2 p.m. The former president is safe.”
The Trump campaign, which is also headquartered in West Palm Beach, is on lockdown, according to a person granted anonymity to discuss the situation.
The shooting occurred just 64 days after Trump survived an assassination attempt while at an outdoor rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
