Donald Trump assassination: Former President of the US, Donald Trump, is found to be safe after the shooting incident. This incident took place at Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. During the incident, Trump was on the golf course. Trump is currently running for the US presidential election. The Republican Presidential campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung confirmed Trump’s safety in the statement. He said, “President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time.”
Shooting Incident at Trump’s Golf Course
The gunshots took place at Trump’s private golf course in Florida. According to multiple media outlets, Trump was golfing when the gunshots were heard and he had been accompanied at the time by his Secret Service protective detail.
It was unclear who the shooter was and what their motive was. The intention of the shooter is still unknown, whether Trump was an intended target or not. CNN reported, citing the security agency’s own sources, that some officials believe the shots at the golf club were indeed intended as a Donald Trump assassination attempt. However, no official confirmation has been provided yet.
The New York Times has reported that law enforcement has detained a “person of interest” along with the weapon. It is expected that the shooter’s name was Ryan Wesley Routh.
AK-47 Rifle Found Near Trump’s Location
Donald Trump Jr. shares one of the more concerning details about the shooting incident: authorities discovered an AK-47 rifle in the bushes. The rifle was found near the spot where Trump was leaving the golf course. In a post on X, Donald Trump Jr. stated, “Again folks! SHOTS FIRED at Trump Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida. An AK-47 was discovered in the bushes, per local law enforcement.”
The discovery of a rifle close to the former president’s location raises serious questions about a potential Donald Trump assassination.
White House Responds & Kamala Harris Reactions
The White House released a statement in response to the Donald Trump assassination. It said that both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were quickly informed about the incident. President Biden condemned all forms of violence. He stated, “There is no place for political violence or for any violence ever in our country.”
He further added, “I have directed my team to continue to ensure that the Secret Service has every resource, capability, and protective measure necessary to ensure the former president’s continued safety,” ensuring the public about safety measures.
Vice President Kamala Harris also responded to the news of Donald Trump assassination on social media. She wrote, “I am glad he is safe.” This post comes despite the political rivalry between the two.
Connection to Previous Shooting Incident
The shooting comes just two months after Trump was wounded in the ear. A gunman opened fire on Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania. That incident brought criticism of the U.S. Secret Service. This agency is tasked with protecting presidents, former presidents, and other dignitaries.
As a result of widespread criticism, Kimberly Cheatle, the head of the Secret Service, resigned from her position. After her resignation, at least five Secret Service agents were placed on administrative leave.
The shooting near Trump’s golf course may lead to further criticism and raises renewed questions about the US agency’s ability to protect political leaders. The discovery of a powerful weapon near his location emphasizes the need for increased security. As Trump moves forward with his campaign, ensuring his safety from a potential Donald Trump assassination will be crucial in the months ahead.
