The suspect fired multiple shots at Republican candidate and former US President Donald Trump while he was playing golf at his course in West Palm Beach, Florida.
On September 15, local time, a spokesperson for the US Secret Service issued a statement saying: “The Secret Service, in coordination with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, is investigating a security incident involving former President Donald Trump that occurred just before 2 p.m. The former president is safe. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office will have more details soon.”
US media added that immediately after the incident, the Secret Service took Mr. Trump away from the scene to a safe place in the local police department, saying they would hold a press conference about the shooting.
On the same day, former US President Donald Trump's campaign communications director, Steven Cheung, also announced that the Republican candidate was "safe after gunshots were fired near him" and that no further details were available at this time.
The White House said in a statement that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris had been briefed on the incident and were relieved to learn that Mr Trump was safe.
Mr Trump's son cited local law enforcement as saying they found an AK-47 in the bushes and arrested a suspect.
Republican candidate and former US President Donald Trump was injured in an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania on July 13, just months before what is likely to be a tense election on November 5, in which he will face Democratic candidate and US Vice President Kamala Harris.
* FBI investigates second assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is safe after what the FBI said appeared to be an assassination attempt on September 15 from outside his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Law enforcement officials said at an afternoon news conference on September 15 that the gunman was in some bushes near the golf course boundary as Secret Service agents were clearing “holes” (security) to protect Mr. Trump and they discovered a rifle barrel in the bushes.
Agents engaged the gunman and fired at least four rounds at about 1:30 p.m. Sept. 15. The gunman then dropped the rifle, two backpacks and other items and fled in a black Nissan sedan.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said a witness saw the gunman and took a photo of his car and license plate.
Authorities then sent out an alert to agencies across the state with information about the vehicle and neighboring Martin County sheriff's deputies stopped the vehicle and arrested the suspect on I-95.
