On Sunday, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) declared that the shooting near Donald Trump’s golf course appears to be an assassination attempt on the Republican presidential candidate.
The FBI stated in a press release that it responded to the incident in West Palm Beach, Florida, and is investigating what seems to be a targeted attack on the former president.
Trump reassured his supporters through a campaign message, saying, “I am safe and well.” He continued, “There were gunshots in my vicinity. Before any rumors start to spread, I want you to hear this first: I am fine and secure. Nothing will stop me. I will never give up.”
Vice President Kamala Harris condemned the political violence following the shooting near Trump, her rival in the November presidential election. Harris said, “I have been informed about reports of gunfire near former President Trump and his properties in Florida. I am relieved that he is safe.” She added, “There is no place for violence in America.”
This statement from Harris reflects a broader condemnation of political violence, which has become a significant concern as the election approaches. The FBI’s involvement underscores the seriousness of the incident and its potential implications for national security.
