One man is in custody after shots were fired at former president’s Donald Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida this afternoon. At the time of the shooting, the former president was golfing. The FBI is investigating the incident as an assassination attempt.
The former president’s website sent out an “alert from Trump” shortly after the incident that reads: “There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!”
Law enforcement sources have identified the would-be shooter as Ryan Wesley Routh.
