Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was safe after multiple shots were fired near his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday, according to two sources briefed on the incident.
The shots originated outside the fence line of the course, the sources said. Trump's campaign had earlier said he was safe following gunshots in his vicinity but gave no details.
The Associated Press reported that U.S. Secret Service agents opened fire after seeing a person with a firearm near Trump’s golf club, citing two unnamed law enforcement sources, adding that no injuries were reported.
Reuters was not immediately able to verify the report, which said that the suspect fled in an SUV and was apprehended in another county. CNN quoted Martin County Sheriff William Snyder as saying his agency apprehended the suspect sought by Palm Beach County.
