Donald Trump‘s election campaign has been turbulent thus far. The Republican contender has faced several obstacles, ranging from a lackluster performance in the first debate to getting shot in the ear.
The most recent seemed to have occurred on Sunday afternoon amid tidings of a shooting incident at Trump National Golf Club, where the former president was present. Trump was playing golf at his South Florida resort when the tragedy occurred.
Exactly what took place at Trump National Golf Club?
The head of communications for the Trump campaign, Steven Cheung, responded to the incident by outlining what had happened. “President Trump is safe after gunshots were heard near him,” Cheung said. Law enforcement sources report that a gunfight broke out between two people right outside the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.
There was no direct threat to Trump; instead, the gunmen were aiming at one another. Officials verified that Trump was never in danger because the gunshot happened outside the club, not inside its walls, but rather in a high-crime neighborhood.
The Secret Service moved swiftly to secure the area and guarantee Trump’s safety, but more details on the gunmen and any potential casualties are still pending.
This incident occurred about two months after an attempt on Trump’s life occurred during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. He was shot in the ear on July 13, underscoring persistent security worries about the former president.
