A Secret Service agent opened fire on a suspect carrying a weapon near Trump National Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, while former President Donald Trump was golfing. The suspect fled in an SUV but was later arrested by local authorities. No one was injured in the incident, and Trump’s campaign confirmed his safety, though few details were released.
The shots were fired around 2 p.m. on Sunday, but it’s unclear whether they were aimed at Trump or simply occurred nearby. The golf course was placed on lockdown as a precaution, and an investigation is ongoing. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have been briefed on the situation.
This comes two months after an assassination attempt on Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania, where he was grazed by a bullet, leading to increased security measures around him.
