Former President Donald Trump was at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach on Sunday when gunshots were reported, according to officials.
The Secret Service said the incident occurred shortly before 2 p.m. A person has been detained in connection with the incident, which is being investigated as a potential second attempt on Trump’s life.
Secret Service agents fired after a suspect dropped a gun and fled the scene, a law enforcement source said. The suspect entered a vehicle, and witnesses reported the license plate number, which was tracked by local authorities and taken into custody.
“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement.
Vice President Kamala Harris responded to the incident on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I have been briefed on reports of gunshots fired near former President Trump and his property in Florida, and I am glad he is safe. Violence has no place in America,” she wrote.
Further updates on the investigation are expected as authorities continue to gather information.
