Former U.S. President and Republican candidate for the upcoming November elections, Donald Trump, emerged unscathed from a shooting incident at his golf club in Florida this Sunday. "President Trump is safe after the shots fired in his vicinity. No further details are available at this time," stated Steven Cheung, the communications director for Trump's campaign, in a brief message distributed to the press.
According to a report by the The New York Post, citing police sources, the incident involved Secret Service agents who opened fire on a man seen with what might have been a weapon while the former President was at the Trump International Golf Course. The information does not specify whether the man was on the golf course or nearby.
However, the former President's son, Donald Trump Jr., provided some details through a post on X, mentioning that the shots occurred at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. Trump Jr. added that a suspect has been detained in connection with the incident.
This news gains significance as it comes just over two months after the former President was the victim of an attack on July 13, where he was injured by gunfire at a campaign event in Pennsylvania. The FBI identified the attacker as Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old resident of Bethel Park.
