Trump safe after gunshots reported

Former US president was at his Florida Golf club when gunshots rang “in his vicinity”.

A shooting incident occurred on Sunday at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, while the ex-US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was playing golf in the area.

Trump’s campaign said the former president was not harmed in the shooting and has been safely evacuated from the site.

“President Trump is safe, following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time,” Trump’s campaign spokesman Steven Cheung has said.

The Secret Service has acknowledged the “protective incident” involving Trump, stating on X, formerly Twitter, that it’s working with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office to investigate it. The incident occurred shortly before 2pm local time, the service said.

American media has provided multiple conflicting accounts of the events, initial reports suggesting the incident did not involve Trump at all and was just two people shooting at each other.

Further reporting on the matter, however, indicated the shooting was likely related to Trump, with multiple sources telling CNN the Secret Service had fired at the suspect. Unnamed officials briefed on the matter told the broadcaster an armed individual intended to attack Trump.

A suspect believed to be connected to the incident has been taken into custody, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post. A section of Interstate 95 has been shut down for the ongoing investigation, it added.

“We will update this information as it becomes available,” the sheriff’s office added.

The incident comes just weeks after Trump survived an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. The ex-president’s ear was grazed by a bullet as he addressed the event, while one supporter in the crowd was killed and two others injured. The alleged perpetrator, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed on the spot by gunfire returned by a counter-sniper team.

  1. How is Trump going to make America great again?
    By printing more money
    To add to the last 8 trillion he printed for the covid hoax
    America is not going to recover and needs a war badly
    1 trillion of debt is being created every 100 days adding to the accrued national debt of 36 trillion which now the US is near not even being able to service the interest on
    The US needs a war badly
    Which is now being hatched out
    Storm Boris is coming to Europe
    But if Trump could be taken out surgically
    Exenterated
    That would be a quick fix cut and dry
    Even if he does make it, it has been postulated, he may not be allowed to take power
    Interesting and very dangerous times

    • Meanwhile Netanyahu is escalating against Hezbollah
      Because he knows that without a protracted war he is out of business
      Hal Turner says 3 Russian nuclear submarines are now stationed off the UK
      Something has to happen soon
      Putin will be forced to respond
      Keep poking the Russian bear and he is bound to wake up in a grumpy mood
      Ukraine does not possess the ability to operate Storm Shadow missiles into Russia proper unassisted by the West
      Whose participation would mean NATO is directly at war with Russia

  2. Cannot help but wonder if President Trump would be safer staying in Russia until after the election. He could do his rallies remotely via video link and he would be safe from further assassination attempts and lawfare.

    • IMHO no one is shooting at Trump. This guy according to an account I read was shot at by secret service when they saw his guns’ barrel, he wasn’t shooting at trump. And, I have big doubts Trump was shot/shot at last time.

      Doesn’t probably matter. People will still vote for the red/blue team and get an AIPAC/Israel controlled leader.
