BREAKING: CNN Reports Trump WAS Target Of Shooting At Palm Beach Golf Course

CNN is reporting that former President Donald Trump was indeed the target of yet another assassination attempt in West Palm Beach, Florida on Sunday.

Shortly before 3 p.m. Eastern Time, the Trump Campaign released a statement explaining that the former president was safe following reports of gunshots in his vicinity. The former president was golfing in West Palm Beach, not far from his Mar-A-Lago estate, at the time of the shooting.

While initial reports suggested that the shooting consisted of two gunmen shooting at each other, CNN’s John Miller reported that preliminary reports suggest otherwise, according to sources familiar with the initial investigation.

“So, I mean, I’ll caveat this with this is unfolding rapidly, so all of this information is preliminary, and it may shift and change, as we’ve seen before. But what we are looking at is starting to come into focus a little more sharply,” Miller said.

“So this is what we have right now from law enforcement sources who have been briefed on this, and it appears that around 2 o’clock, shots were fired at the golf course, possibly coming from the tree line while former President Trump was playing golf. The Secret Service identified the direction and the shooter returned fire at that gunman who fled,” the CNN reporter continued.

Eyewitnesses were reportedly able to obtain a description of the suspect, as well as a vehicle. That vehicle has reportedly been stopped by local law enforcement as the investigation unfolds, Miller said.

CNN further reported that investigators recovered a backpack and a GoPro camera, suggesting the gunman attempted to film the shooting.

“In the area of the shooting, sources say they recovered a backpack and a semi-automatic rifle. It was described as an AK-47 in the preliminary reporting, and a GoPro camera. The last piece is very interesting because it suggests if there was such a camera there, that this individual may have wanted to record himself and a first person doing the shooting,” Miller reported.

“So a lot of questions to be answered. Is the suspect they have the right person? Is that the right car? Um, you know, the weapon that they have has to be processed for evidence and ballistics. If there’s video on that camera, if in fact it was recovered as we are told, what will it tell them? But that is what we are seeing right now.”

The Secret Service has released a statement confirming the shooting, though they did not confirm whether Trump was targeted. “The Secret Service, in conjunction with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, is investigating a protective incident involving former President Donald Trump that occurred shortly before 2 p.m. The former president is safe,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Gugliemi said in a statement.

This is a developing story. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office is expected to provide additional details in a press conference shortly.
