WASHINGTON (WVDN) – According to the FBI, an investigation is underway after another apparent attempt on former president Trump’s life. The incident occurred at Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. Reportedly, Secret Service personnel fired at a man who had an AK-47 firearm on or near the golf course.
According to the former president’s campaign spokesperson, Trump is safe following the incident. Additionally, a suspect is allegedly in custody. The Palm Beach County Sheriff, Ric Bradshaw, is on record as stating the gunman was 300 to 500 yards away when he was spotted. Reports state that Secret Service agents fired at the individual who then dropped the weapon and fled.
Witnesses reportedly noted the license plate number of the vehicle the person got into which allowed authorities to track him.
Trump told supporters in an email that “there were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!” He went on to say, “Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER!”
In a statement, Kamla Harris said she is glad Trump is safe. She also stated, “Violence has no place in America.”
West Virginia Governor Jim Justice said of the situation, “Once again, my prayers are with President Trump and his family as they endure what appears to be a second assassination attempt on his life. This is not just another attack on President Trump, but an assault on everything we stand for as a democracy. We need to stand strong and remain united in the face of these threats.”
