" title="Former President Trump “safe” following gunshots nearby—campaign
The campaign released a statement on Sunday, Sept. 15 about the incident, which the Secret Service says occurred around 2 PM EST.
Former President Trump is “safe” following reports of gunshots “in his vicinity”, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a Sept. 15 statement, that read: “President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time.”
The former President was reportedly playing golf at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida when the gunshots were heard. According to CNN, the golf course was immediately locked down after the incident.
At this point, it is not clear if the incident was an assassination attempt on the former President. However, officials do believe the shooter was attempting to target the President. Donald Trump Jr., the son of the former President, also claimed that an AK-47 rifle was recovered at the scene by law enforcement officials.
