Former President Donald Trump was declared safe after gunshots were fired in his vicinity.
“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity,” Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement. “No further details at this time.”
According to Politico, multiple gunshots were fired at the Trump National Golf Club in West Palm Beach while the former president was golfing.
The Secret Service announced an investigation into the incident shortly thereafter.
“The Secret Service, in conjunction with the Palm Beach County 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,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a post on X.
The White House issued a response to the event, saying, ““The President and Vice President have been briefed about the security incident at the Trump International Golf Course, where former President Trump was golfing. They are relieved to know that he is safe. They will be kept regularly updated by their team.”
