Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is safe following an attempted assassination outside his golf course in Palm Beach, Florida, according to the FBI. Shots were fired in the vicinity, creating a security scare.

The Associated Press reported that U.S. Secret Service agents engaged in gunfire upon seeing an armed individual near Trump's club. The suspect fled but was later apprehended in another county. Trump reassured his supporters that he is safe through a fundraising email.

The incident, occurring just months before a highly contested November 5 election, has raised questions about candidate protection. Trump had been previously injured during a July assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. Following the recent incident, the White House confirmed that President Biden and Vice President Harris were relieved to hear of Trump's safety.
