Trump Campaign Says Shots Fired in His Vicinity, Former President Is Safe

12:37 PM PT — Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have been informed of the shooting, according to the Daily Mail which cites a White House statement.

Donald Trump‘s safe after his campaign says gunshots were fired near him … marking this the second shooting scare of the summer for the Republican candidate.

The former POTUS’ campaign team put out a statement just minutes ago … assuring people 45 is safe after gunshots popped off “in his vicinity.”

His communications director, Steven Cheung, adds the campaign has no further details at this time.

Politico reporter Meridith McGraw says multiple shots were fired at Trump National Golf Club in West Palm Beach today — where DJT was reportedly playing a round of golf.

We’ve reached out to Secret Service and the local sheriff’s office for more details … so far, no word back.

Of course, this shooting comes about two months after a sniper shot at the former president during a Pennsylvania rally … killing two people and striking Trump in the ear.

Trump had to wear a bandage on his ear for a couple weeks after the incident … though he’s ultimately recovered from the shooting which caused a major uproar and led to Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle stepping down.

It is unclear why the shooting happened or who was the target … though it appears the shots were not fired at the former president this time.

A representative for the Secret Service tells us, “The U.S. 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,” reiterating Trump is safe and saying more details will come soon.
