\n
Former President Donald Trump is safe following gunshots \u201cin his vicinity\u201d, his campaign said, after an incident took place near his Florida golf club on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Secret Service agents saw a man pointing a rifle at the golf course where Trump was apparently located at the time, law enforcement sources told the BBC\u2019s US partner CBS News.<\/p>\n
Agents fired multiple times at the suspect, who tried to run away, the sources said, adding that a suspect is now in custody and a weapon has been recovered.<\/p>\n
In an email to his supporters, Trump said he was \u201csafe and well\u201d after gunshots in his vicinity.<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing will slow me down,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI will never surrender!\u201d<\/p>\n
The incident comes almost exactly two months after a gunman attempted to assassinate Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, striking his ear.<\/p>\n
The Secret Service confirmed in a post on X that they were investigating a \u201cprotective incident\u201d involving Trump that took place shortly before 14:00 EST (19:00 BST) on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The White House said President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris had been briefed about the incident that they said took place at the Trump International Golf Course, \u201cwhere former President Trump was golfing\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are relieved to know that he is safe. They will be kept regularly updated by their team,\u201d the White House said.<\/p>\n
Harris posted on X that she had been briefed on the matter and was glad Trump was unharmed. \u201cViolence has no place in America,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n
The BBC has contacted the US Secret Service, the West Palm Beach Sheriff\u2019s Office and Trump campaign for more details.<\/p>\n
Trump was injured while addressing a crowd in Butler, Pennsylvania, on 13 July when a gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, fired at him with an AR-15\u2013style rifle from the roof of a nearby building.<\/p>\n
The shooting left one audience member dead, while Crooks, 20, was killed at the scene by a Secret Service sniper.<\/p>\n
The Secret Service faced intense scrutiny over how the shooter from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, was able to open fire on the former president.<\/p>\n
The director of the agency, Kimberly Cheatle, resigned within two weeks of the incident.<\/p>\n
