Former President Donald Trump was uninjured following shots that were fired near his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday, according to his campaign and the US Secret Service.

“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement.

No additional details were provided from the campaign.

The incident occurred at the Trump International Golf Club at roughly 2 p.m. ET, according to the Secret Service.

Associated Press sources on Sunday said that a Secret Service agent opened fire at a suspect who had a weapon as Trump was on the golf course.

“The former president is safe. We will have more details soon,” the agency said.

The individual or individuals responsible for the shooting have so far not been identified.

The incident occurred months after an attempt to assassinate Trump in July during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. It comes as the Secret Service has been heavily scrutinized over their handling of the earlier shooting incident, where the ex-president was wounded in his ear.
