Gunshots reported in proximity to Trump's golf course.
Close to a golf course that once belonged to ex-president Donald Trump, there was a shooting incident. Agents from his security detail discharged their firearms at a suspect who took off from the premises. Later on, authorities managed to apprehend an individual. The investigation is being handled by the FBI as they view it as an attempted assassination attempt.
According to the former president's campaign team, Donald Trump himself remains unharmed. The only statement released so far was by Steven Cheung, who simply noted, "No further details at this time." Many news outlets reported that the shooting took place near the golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
U.S. intelligence agencies reported that Secret Service agents fired upon a person spotted carrying a weapon near the golf club. The suspect abandoned an assault rifle and then sped away in a vehicle, as per two nameless sources. Donald Trump Jr. later revealed on social media that an AK-47 was discovered hidden in some bushes.
Authorities in Florida ultimately captured the suspect. They apprehended the individual around 70 kilometers north of the golf club on a main highway, as confirmed by the Martin County Sheriff's Office on their Facebook page. This individual is suspected to be linked to the earlier shooting incident.
Initially, there were reports suggesting that two individuals got involved in a shooting incident, with Trump nowhere near the target. However, further details revealed that the Secret Service was indeed involved.
Subsequently, U.S. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were briefed about the security incident involving Donald Trump. Both were delighted to learn that the ex-president had survived. The White House press secretary stated, "They are regularly updated by their team."
Just a few days prior, on July 13th, a shooter from a nearby building targeted a political rally in the state of Pennsylvania. The shooter hit Trump with a bullet, causing injury to his right ear. Unfortunately, one bystander lost their life, while two more people sustained injuries. The shooter was eventually killed by the security personnel on-site.
