Lawmakers and family members respond after discovering that Trump was not harmed during the 'gunshots in his vicinity' incident.
'Again, folks! Shots fired...' said Donald Trump Jr.
The news that former President Trump was unharmed after gunshots were heard nearby while he was playing at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach prompted reactions from lawmakers, family, and others.
Secret Service agents rushed Trump to safety at the club's fifth hole after it was not immediately clear if the shots were fired at him. Steven Cheung from the Trump Campaign communications team issued a statement after the event.
No further details are available on whether President Trump is safe after gunshots were fired in his vicinity, according to Cheung.
Donald Trump Jr. replied with the phrase "Again folks!" in reference to the assassination attempt on his father at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.
""An AK-47 was found in the bushes at the Trump Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida," the younger Trump stated."
Trump Jr. also said a suspect had reportedly been apprehended.
The Trump War Room tweeted about the safety of the former president, which was retweeted by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
""Graham stated that he recently spoke with President Trump and described him as one of the strongest individuals he has ever met. According to Graham, Trump is currently in high spirits and is more determined than ever to safeguard the country," said Graham."
The White House also issued a statement about the situation.
"The former President was golfing at the Trump International Golf Course when a security incident occurred. The President and Vice President have been informed about the incident and are relieved to know that the former President is safe. They will be kept updated regularly by their team."
