NextImg:BREAKING: Another Assassination Attempt? Shots Fired 'In Vicinity' of Trump

Gunshots have been reported near former President Donald Trump’s International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla., while the former president was playing golf. According to the New York Post, 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."

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.

Though details are limited at this time, it's possible that it's not connected to Trump specifically, as, according to Fox News, Trump's presence on the golf course was not part of his public schedule.

Initial reports suggested two people were firing at each other. However, sources said investigators now believe the Secret Service agent was the only shooter.

The man’s motives are not yet known. He was arrested by Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputies.

The White House issued a statement soon after the incident: “The President and Vice President have been briefed about the security incident at the Trump International Golf Course, where former President Trump was golfing. They are relieved to know that he is safe. They will be kept regularly updated by their team.”

"President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time," Steven Cheung, director of communications for the Trump campaign, said in a statement received by PJ Media.

There are reports that officials believe Trump was the intended target, though PJ Media has not been able to verify this claim independently.
