Donald Trump Unharmed After Gunshots Fired In His Vicinity
Donald Trump is safe and unharmed after gunshots were fired near him at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, around 2:00 PM on Sunday. He had been walking between the fifth and sixth holes when the shots were fired. Fox News is reporting that Secret Service members opened fire after spotting a man with an AK-47 in nearby bushes. Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Teri Barbera says a “person of interest” is already in police custody.
“The former president is safe. We will have more details soon,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement. Trump also reportedly told Fox News host Bret Baier: “Tell everybody I am fine and the Secret Service did a great job.” The FBI has confirmed the organization “is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination” of former President Donald Trump, according to CNN.

I will NEVER SURRENDER! I will always love you for supporting me.”
