BBC-

Former President Donald Trump is safe following gunshots “in his vicinity” on Sunday, according to his campaign.

“President Trump is safe,” his campaign communications director, Steven Cheung, said, adding there were “No further details at this time”.

The Secret Service confirmed in a post on X that they were investigating a “protective incident” involving Trump that took place shortly before 14:00 EST (19:00 BST).

The BBC has contacted the US Secret Service and Trump campaign for more details.

The incident comes almost exactly two months after a gunman attempted to assassinate Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, striking his ear.

In a post on X, Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr, said shots were fired at Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. He said a suspect had been apprehended.

The BBC has also contacted the West Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office.

The White House confirmed President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris – the Democratic nominee – had been briefed about the incident that they said took place 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,” the White House said.

  1. American politics is a bitch and for a country wih the most universities and colleges in the world, something is definitely wrong with it’s population way of thinking.This is a man who is already convicted and should be already sentence and in prison, plus the many other cases to come but the people in all America still believes he is the best man for the job. The man goes on the campaign trail and just shout out all sorts of nonsensical garbage and people applaud, it’s as if they are all glued in to what Harris say or respond to, while in the back the Donald just strides through with no real answers.
    The most brilliant thing he did in my mind was calling his boys in congress and stop that immigration bill, because he knew he will need something to run on and immigration is it.You now see him answering every question asked, even though it have nothing to do with immigration, given an immigration answer, but let’s remember he ran on the Mexico wall the last time.
    I might get some heat for this, but at times I wonder how our God allow this man to stride and be prosperous, getting richer and richer, even becoming president knowing this man have committed every sin in the book from since he was a youth? and continue to do so without remorse, while many true and faithful believer continue to suffer and die everyday.Theologians twist.
