BREAKING: Shots Fired In Trump’s Vicinity
Former President Donald Trump is “safe” after shots were reportedly fired “in his vicinity” while golfing at his West Palm Beach golf course. Campaign communications director Stephen Cheung gave no further details in a short press release.
The Secret Service responded to a shooting near Trump as he left his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, according to law enforcement sources.
“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time,” Cheung said Sunday afternoon. Two people exchanged gunfire outside of Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach. The shooters were targeting each other, and the gunfire was not targeting Trump, according to the New York Post.

The latest scare for Trump comes days after Connecticut Sen. Chris Blumenthal (D-CT) said his involvement in a bipartisan select committee probing the shooting leads him to believe that Americans will be “appalled” at the level of incompetence brewing for so long inside the Secret Service.
The Democrat’s remarks to Fox News come one day after Secret Service Acting Director Robert Rowe provided lawmakers with a closed-door update on an internal investigation. “I think the American people are going to be shocked, astonished and appalled by what we will report to them about the failures by the Secret Service in this assassination attempt on the former president,” Blumenthal told Fox News. “But I think they also ought to be appalled and astonished by the failure of the Department of Homeland Security to be more forthcoming, to be as candid and frank, as it should be to them in terms of providing information.”
Trump was struck in the ear on July 13th at a massive rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and has reportedly been the target of foreign assassination plots as well.
