Trump Safe After Gunshots Reported Near Florida Location

Donald Trump was unharmed after reports of gunshots in his vicinity on Sunday afternoon in Florida, his campaign and the Secret Service confirmed.

It remains unclear whether the reported gunshots were aimed at the Republican presidential nominee.

The U.S. Secret Service announced that they are investigating the incident, which occurred shortly before 2 p.m. According to the Secret Service, “The former president is safe.”

About two months ago, Trump was injured during an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania, where a bullet grazed his ear.

Trump had returned to Florida this weekend after a West Coast trip that included a Friday night rally in Las Vegas and a Utah fundraiser.

The campaign did not immediately provide any further details.

A law enforcement official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation, stated that officials are attempting to determine whether the shots were fired near Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course or on the property. The official was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Trump often starts his day playing golf, followed by lunch at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach, one of three golf courses he owns in the state.

Since the assassination attempt in July, Trump has enhanced his security measures. When he has been at Trump Tower in New York, a line of dump trucks have been parked in a wall outside the building. At outdoor rallies, he now speaks from behind a bulletproof glass enclosure.

A message sent to campaign officials seeking information on the security status and location of Ohio Sen. JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, was not immediately responded to.
