A potential threat to former President Donald Trump’s safety was averted on Sunday after gunshots were fired in his vicinity at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. The suspect, who was seen with a high-powered rifle, was engaged by U.S. Secret Service agents and is now in custody. The FBI is leading the investigation into the incident, with the Secret Service and local authorities also involved. President Biden and Vice President Harris were briefed on the situation and relieved to learn that Trump was unharmed.
Trump reassured supporters in a fundraising email that he was safe after the incident, while Senator Lindsey Graham described him as being in good spirits and more determined than ever to “save our country.” The incident comes just two months after an assassination attempt on Trump during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, in which he was grazed in the ear and one person was killed.
The White House condemned the violence, emphasizing that it has no place in America. Vice President Harris expressed relief that Trump was unharmed. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office is expected to provide more details on the incident shortly. The situation is still developing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
