Donald Trump is “safe following gunshots in his vicinity” at his Florida golf course Sunday, his campaign said in a statement.
The former president was playing at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach when shots were fired.
Officials believe an armed individual intended to target Trump, according to sources briefed on the matter. A car has been stopped in relation to the incident nearby, according to a law enforcement official.
The Secret Service said it is working with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office to investigate a protective incident involving Trump. The Secret Service said the incident occurred shortly before 2 p.m.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are both “relieved to know” that Trump is safe and have been briefed on the security incident, according to the White House.
