Palm Beach Shooter Was Targeting Trump, Exchanged Gunfire With Secret Service: Report

Donald Trump appears to have been the intended target in a shooting at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday, according to a report. The former president is safe, his campaign said in a statement.
CNN reported officials “believe the shots fired at Trump International Golf Club were intended for former President Donald Trump, according to sources familiar on the matter.”
“The Secret Service identified the direction” of the shots and “returned fire at that gunman, who fled,” CNN Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst and former police official John Miller said on the air.
“Witnesses were able to provide a description of an individual and a vehicle. We are told that a vehicle that is close to that description has been stopped” by police and they were holding that individual for identification purposes, Miller said.
Miller, who stressed his information was preliminary, said his sources shared that a backpack and a semi-automatic rifle “that was described as an AK-47” in early reporting were recovered in the area of the shooting.
A GoPro camera was also discovered, suggesting “this individual may have wanted to record himself in the first-person doing the shooting,” Miller added before explaining how there were “a lot of questions to be answered.”
The Martin County Sheriff’s Office said it stopped a vehicle and a suspect believed to be connected to the shooting was taken into custody. Martin County is located just north of Palm Beach County.
And the FBI later released a statement, saying, “The FBI has responded to West Palm Beach Florida and is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Trump.”
