Donald Trump safe after shootings at former president’s golf club

Lawmakers, family react after learning Trump is safe after second assassination attempt

News that former President Trump was safe after a second assassination attempt at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach prompted a response from lawmakers, family members and others.

It was later determined that the shots were fired by Secret Service agents at a man carrying an AK-47, in what the FBI said appeared to be an assassination attempt. Trump was playing the club’s fifth hole when the shots rang out and Secret Service agents pulled him to safety. Steven Cheung of the Trump campaign’s communications team released a statement after the event.

“President Trump is safe after gunfire in his area. There are no further details at this time,” Cheung said.

Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., responded by saying, “Once again, folks!” It was a grim allusion to the attempted assassination of Trump on July 13 at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
