Donald Trump is safe after gunshots were fired in his vicinity on Sunday, his campaign said in statement. The U.S. Secret Service says it is investigating the incident. 

“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity,” Steven Cheung, Trump campaign communications director, said in a brief statement, noting that no further details were available yet. 

The Secret Service said it was investigating the incident, which occurred just before 2 p.m., with local authorities. 

“The Secret Service, in conjunction with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, is investigating a protective incident involving former President Donald Trump that occurred shortly before 2 p.m. The former president is safe,” Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said. 

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office is expected to give a briefing with more details shortly.

The incident comes two months after an assassination attempt against the former president during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. 

This is a developing story.
