Gunshots have been fired in Donald Trump’s vicinity, his campaign said.

“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time,” Steven Cheung, his campaign spokesman said.

According to the New York Post, two people exchanged gunfire outside the former President’s golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The golf course was immediately locked down and Trump was scrambled to safety.

The outlet reported the gunfine was not “targeting Trump”.
