The Federal Bureau of Investigation said this “appears to be an attempted assassination”.
Eyes were on the location of the shots: identified as someone with an AK-47 who got into a car after ditching the gun. It was not known who the possible assassin(s) could be.
Initial reports were that two different people were shooting at one another - this is not true.
According to A News Clip by Hannity
The shots were outside the golf course but in the vicinity of the President.
After about thirty minutes, drones identified the assassin’s car, which was surrounded by law enforcement.

The NY Post Has More Information
Donald Trump was rushed to safety by the Secret Service after agents spotted a man with an AK-47 near his golf course and agents opened fire, law enforcement sources said.
The former president was on the links at Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach at the time, about 2 p.m. on Sunday. The gunman was spotted by an advance team several holes ahead of Trump, the sources told The Post.
It’s not clear whether the man was on the course or near it.
An agent opened fire, shooting multiple times.
“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time,” Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said Sunday afternoon.
The man was later arrested by local police on I-95.
It comes almost exactly two months after Thomas Matthew Crooks shot Trump at a rally in Butler, Pa. on July 13 — wounding him in the ear.
Sen. Lindsey Graham took to X minutes after news of the shooting broke to laud the former president for his fortitude.
“Just spoke with President Trump. He is one of the strongest people I’ve ever known. He’s in good spirits and he is more resolved than ever to save our country.”
The Secret Service — which came under widespread criticism following the July assassination attempt — wrote on X that it was investigating a “protective incident” involving the former president that occurred shortly before 2 p.m.
The agency said it’s coordinating with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s office on the investigation.

Initial reports suggested two people were firing at each other. However, sources said investigators now believe the Secret Service agent was the only shooter.
The man’s motives are not yet known. He was arrested by Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputies.
The White House issued a statement soon after the incident: “The President and Vice President have been briefed about the security incident at the Trump International Golf Course, where former President Trump was golfing. They are relieved to know that he is safe. They will be kept regularly updated by their team.”
CNN reported that the gunman fired at Trump, however sources told The Post that the only reported shooter so far is the Secret Service agent.
This is a developing story.

A Prayer of Gratitude
Thank You, Father God,
We belong to You. Our rest and our faith is only in You.
Thank you for protecting Trump again today. Bless him with Your peace. Keep him free from harm we ask, in the Name of Jesus.
Amen.
Amen and Thankyou for trustworthy news.
MILITARY-maybe (experienced) ‘assassin’ missed with AK-46.
SS missed.
“Fake-Flag” theatre event.
Seems not a “FALSE-flag” event since nobody was murdered.
Great for head-lies-for-Headlines though.
Seems orchestrated.
FBI will try to spin THEIR wheels in YOUR head.
Dear DIM-ocrats,
If you want RFK, Jr. for President in 2028,
You better vote FOR Trump in 2024 ! 😅😂🤣
It’s mostly poli-trick$ to distract from behind the “crisis actors’ sNewZzzz screen$” from BOTH parties behind the closed UNIparty doors directed by Int’l BANKSTER$.
