The US intelligence service said that it is investigating the matter and the incident took place around 2 pm. According to this, “The former president is safe.
According to a spokesperson for the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office in Florida, no one has been reported injured.

Earlier, a gunman opened fire targeting former President Trump (78) during an election rally in Pennsylvania on July 13. In this attack, a bullet grazed Trump’s right ear, while one person attending the rally was killed and two others were seriously injured. Trump returned to Florida from a West Coast tour this weekend. The campaign team has not immediately given additional information in this matter.
A security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that an investigation is being conducted and officials are trying to find out whether the bullets were fired near Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course or in the field. Trump often spends the morning playing golf and has lunch at the ‘Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach’, one of the three clubs he owns in the state. Trump’s security has been increased after the July incident. Dump trucks are parked outside the building during his presence at Trump Tower in New York and a bulletproof glass enclosure is built around him when he attends rallies. ( PLC & GT )
