Donald Trump is “safe” after gunshots were heard at his golf club in Florida this Sunday, September 14.
Donald Trump's campaign team announced that the candidate for the next presidential election was “safe” after the shootings near him. The Secret Service responded to a shooting as the former president of the United States left his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
“President Trump is safe after the gunfire nearby. There are no further details at this time,” said the billionaire's spokesman, Steven Cheung. In turn, the New York Post said two people exchanged gunfire outside the golf club. According to them, the two shooters were targeting each other, and Donald Trump was not targeted.
As a reminder, while the presidential campaign is in full swing across the Atlantic, the former president was hit by a bullet in his right ear while holding a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, July 13. The 20-year-old shooter was shot dead.
Biden and Harris say they are 'relieved'
US President Joe Biden and his Vice President Kamala Harris reacted minutes after the shootings. They are “relieved” that the former tenant of the White House, a Republican candidate for re-election, is “safe”.
According to a statement from the White House, “The President and Vice President have been briefed on the security incident at Trump International Golf Course (in Florida), where the former President was practicing. They are relieved to know he is safe. They will be regularly briefed by their teams.”
