Shots fired at Trump National Golf Club with former president on site
Multiple shots were fired near Donald Trump‘s golf club in West Palm Beach.
The former president was golfing at his south Florida club on Sunday as news of the shooting emerged.
‘President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity,’ Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement. ‘No further details at this time.’
A spokesperson for the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office confirmed to DailyMail.com: ‘We have a person of interest.’
It comes almost exactly two months after Trump was shot in the ear during an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13.
