The Trump campaign said the former president, 78, was “safe following gunshots in his vicinity” at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.
A Secret Service agent opened fire on a man as Trump was playing golf nearby, according to the agency. A 58-year-old man — identified as Ryan Wesley Routh by the Associated Press — was taken into custody by the West Palm Beach sheriff’s office after a traffic stop on I-95.

00:00Former President Donald Trump is safe and unharmed
00:04Following a protective incident shortly before 2 p.m. On Sunday at Trump International Golf Club at West Palm Beach
00:12The US Secret Service personnel opened fire on a gunman located near the property line and this matter is under investigation
00:19How far away was Donald Trump when this gentleman was caught and stopped?
00:26Probably between three and five hundred yards, but with a rifle and a scope like that, that's not a long distance
00:35So our agents will get there first, clear it. He noticed that the rifle was pointed out, our agents engaged
00:44We are not sure right now if the individual was able to take a shot at our agents
00:49But for sure our agents were able to engage with the suspect
00:54Well, you got to understand the golf course is surrounded by shrubbery
00:58So when somebody gets into the shrubbery, they're pretty much out of sight
01:02And at this level that he is at right now, he's not the sitting president
01:07If he was, we would have had this entire golf course surrounded
01:11But because he's not, security is limited to the areas that the Secret Service deems possible
01:17So I would imagine that the next time he comes to the golf course, there will probably be a little more people around the perimeter
01:24But the Secret Service did exactly what they should have done
01:28They provided exactly what the protection should have been
01:31And their agent did a fantastic job
