Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was reported to be safe after multiple shots were fired near his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday, according to sources familiar with the incident. The shots were fired outside the course's fence line.

The Associated Press reported that U.S. Secret Service agents opened fire upon spotting an armed individual near Trump's golf club. No injuries were reported, but the suspect fled in an SUV and was later apprehended by law enforcement in another county. The Secret Service's investigation into the incident commenced immediately.

Shortly before 2 p.m., Trump informed his supporters via email about the gunshots in his vicinity, ensuring them of his safety. This follows a previous assassination attempt in Pennsylvania that raised concerns about candidate security. The Palm Beach police service has scheduled a briefing on the incident.
