Donald Trump was unharmed after gunshots were reported near a Florida golf course.
This morning, the Trump campaign made a statement assuring the public that former US President Donald Trump is safe after reports of gunshots being fired near him. According to campaign spokesman Steven Cheung, President Trump was unharmed and there are currently no further details available.

At the time of the incident, Trump was playing golf at his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. The course was immediately put on lockdown, as confirmed by a source familiar with the situation. The Secret Service also released a statement saying they are working with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office to investigate the incident and ensure Trump's safety.

The incident took place around 2pm local time and fortunately, no injuries were reported, as stated by a spokesperson for the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. The White House also confirmed that both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have been briefed on the situation and will be kept updated on the investigation. They added that they are relieved to know that Trump is safe.

According to a law enforcement official, the team is currently trying to determine if the shots were fired near Trump's golf course or on the grounds. The official spoke anonymously to The Associated Press, as they were not authorized to speak publicly about the ongoing investigation.

It is a common routine for Trump to spend his mornings playing golf before having lunch at one of his three golf courses in Florida. However, ever since the assassination attempt on him in July, there has been an increased security presence around him. When he is at Trump Tower in New York, dump trucks line up outside the building for added protection. And at outdoor rallies, he now speaks from behind bulletproof glass.

There has been no update yet on the security status and whereabouts of Ohio Senator JD Vance, Trump's running mate. A message seeking information from campaign officials has not been returned. Max Egusquiza, a local resident, shared his account of the emergency response outside Trump's golf course. He saw five black unmarked SUVs blocking a grey Mercedes and around 20 police cars rushing to the scene.

As of now, there is no further information available. We will keep you updated as the story develops.
