Former US President Donald Trump is safe after gunshots were fired “in his vicinity” on Sunday, his campaign says.

“President Trump is safe,” said Steven Cheung, his campaign communications director, adding that “there are not enough details available at this time.”

The Secret Service confirmed in a message on X that they were investigating a “protection incident” involving Trump that occurred shortly before 2:00 p.m. EST (7:00 p.m. BST).

The BBC has contacted the US Secret Service and the Trump campaign for more details.

The incident comes almost exactly two months after a gunman tried to assassinate Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, by hitting him in the ear.

This is a developing story.
