‘President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time,’ a spokesman says.
The Trump campaign on Sunday said that former President Donald Trump “is safe” after reports of gunshots in his vicinity.
“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity,“ a brief statement released by Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said. ”No further details at this time.”
The statement did not provide any other information, including where Trump was when the shots were reported. It’s also not clear if shots were fired at the former president.
The Epoch Times could not immediately determine where he was when the statement was released. The campaign has not responded to a request for comment on Sunday.
Local reports say that shots were fired near the Trump National Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
During a rally on July 13, a would-be assassin fired multiple shots at Trump as he was speaking, with one bullet striking him in the ear. One person was killed and two others were injured.
The shooting suspect was shot and killed just moments after he fired at the former president. Federal and state law enforcement officials have not publicly disclosed a motive for the shooter.
After the incident, questions emerged about whether the U.S. Secret Service was sufficiently prepared to secure the rally, held in Butler, Pennsylvania. In the aftermath of the incident, the agency’s then-director, Kimberly Cheatle, resigned.
Multiple investigations have been initiated, including by Congress, the White House, and the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general.
