Officials reported that a gunman aimed a rifle through a fence at Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach while the former president was golfing, leading Secret Service agents to return fire.
The assailant escaped, but the Martin County Sheriff’s Office managed to stop a vehicle and apprehend a suspect believed to be linked to the incident. Martin County is situated just north of Palm Beach County.
“The FBI has responded to West Palm Beach, Florida, and is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Trump,” The FBI said in a statement.

“Investigating a protective incident involving former President Donald Trump that occurred shortly before 2 p.m,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement.
CNN’s Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst, John Miller, reported that sources indicated law enforcement recovered a backpack and a semi-automatic rifle identified as an AK-47.
President Trump's round of golf was not on any public schedule. How did the suspect know President Trump was golfing there today and near the 5th Hole?

A GoPro camera was also discovered, implying that the individual might have intended to document the event from a first-person perspective, Miller noted. He emphasized that the details he provided were preliminary.
“President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have been briefed about the security incident at the Trump International Golf Course, where former President Trump was golfing,” the White House said in a statement. They are relieved to know that he is safe. They will be kept regularly updated by their team.”
In mid-July, Trump faced a terrifying attack when a shooter opened fire while he was addressing a crowd at an outdoor campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The former president survived the incident due to a miracle move he claimed saved his life, although he was struck in his right ear by a bullet, and he raised his fist in a display of resilience. Tragically, one rally attendee, 50-year-old fireman Corey Comperatore, lost his life, and two others were injured.
