Former President Donald Trump was involved in a shooting incident at his Florida golf course, where he was playing golf. Officials stated that Trump was between 3 and 500 yards away from the suspect, who was armed with an AK-style rifle. Secret Service agents opened fire on the suspect, who then fled but was later apprehended in Martin County.
Authorities found the rifle, two backpacks, and a GoPro with the suspect. The FBI is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination of Trump. Trump himself confirmed that he is safe and unharmed. The suspect was described as relatively calm by authorities.
Various conflicting reports emerged from different media outlets, with some claiming that the shootout was not targeted at Trump, while others said it was. Vice President Kamala Harris expressed relief that Trump was safe and condemned violence.
The Trump campaign released a statement confirming Trump’s safety. The investigation is ongoing, with FBI and local law enforcement working together. Officials are set to hold a press conference to provide more details on the incident. Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., also confirmed that Trump is safe and a suspect has been apprehended.
