Gunshots have been fired in the vicinity of former United States President, Donald Trump, his campaign has said on Sunday.
“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time,”Steven Cheung, his campaign spokesman said in a short statement.
According to the New York Post, two people exchanged gunfire outside the former president’s golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The outlet reported the gunfine was not “targeting Trump”.
Trump was golfing at the resort on Sunday, which is a short distance from his main residence, Mar-a-Lago, according to US media outlets.
It comes just two months after an assassination attempt on the Republican presidential candidate.
Gunman, Thomas Crooks, fired multiple shots at Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13. One bullet grazed the ex-president’s ear.
