Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is safe following gunshots near his golf course in Florida, his campaign and the Secret Service announced on Sunday. |
What happened: Authorities said a man stuck the barrel of a rifle through the fence at the edge of the golf course while the former president was golfing. Secret Service agents on the course spotted the weapon through the shrubbery and opened fire on the man, who fled. |

The man was an impassioned supporter of Ukraine in its fight against a Russian invasion, and also appeared to have an extensive history of business troubles and court filings. | | • | Golfing in plain sight: Agents found an AK-47-style rifle, a scope, backpack and a GoPro camera on the scene, officials said.
