An agent, who was part of Trump’s surveillance team, opened fire at about 2 p.m., the source told The Post.
The would-be gunman, who was in a tree line just off from Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach, fled.
Authorities later found a GoPro camera and the assault rifle, according to sources.
Officials told CNN that the shots fired were intended to harm the former president, contrary to earlier reports. The New York Post had initially reported that two persons had been firing at each other and were not targeting Trump.

BREAKING: Trump Survives 2nd Assassination Attempt — This Time at His Golf Course
BY: Matt Margolis | PJMn September 15, 2024Update 4:22 p.m.: Martin County, Fla., Sheriff William D. Snyder told reporters that his department surrounded and intercepted the car with the suspect, whom he described as “relatively calm, flat affect… never asked what this is about.” Snyder said he knows the suspect’s name but declined to share that information. He is reported to be in his late 50s.
AdvertisementPolice immediately turned him over to the FBI, and bomb-sniffing dogs cleared the vehicle. Snyder said that all roads in the vicinity are closed by order of Gov. Ron DeSantis. Trump was escorted back to his Mar-a-Lago home.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) just posted on X, “Just spoke with President Trump. He is one of the strongest people I’ve ever known. He’s in good spirits and he is more resolved than ever to save our country.”
Original story:
ADVERTISEMENTGunshots were reported shortly before 2 p.m. near former President Donald Trump’s International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla., while the former president was playing golf. According to multiple reports, the Secret Service took Trump to safety “after agents opened fire on a man who was spotted with what may have been a gun while the former president was on the links, according to law enforcement sources.”
CNN reports that “police believe an armed individual intended to target Trump.”
An individual has been detained, and a Russian-made AK-47 was reportedly recovered at the scene. In addition, a black vehicle has been impounded.
AdvertisementThe shots came from “a few hundred feet from where Trump was playing,” according to Fox News. “It was the Secret Service that fired the gunshots” after they saw a man carrying a long gun,” Fox reported. He reportedly dropped the gun and ran and was apprehended by Secret Service.
It’s unclear at that time whether Trump has been evacuated from the golf course.
Sources said the Secret Service spotted a suspicious individual on the Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach, and opened fire when agents saw what appeared to be the barrel of a gun.
It’s not clear whether the man was on the course or near it.
An agent opened fire, shooting multiple times.
According to the report, the man was later arrested by local police.
