Multiple shots were fired near Donald Trump‘s golf club in West Palm Beach.
Former President Donald Trump was golfing at his south Florida club at the time the shots rung out and was taken to safety by members of the Secret Service.
‘President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity,’ Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement. ‘No further details at this time.’
A spokesperson for the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office confirmed to DailyMail.com ‘we have a person of interest’ in custody.
It comes almost exactly two months after Trump was shot in the ear during an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13.
