Trump campaign says candidate 'safe' after gunshots in 'vicinity'

(NewsNation) — Former President Donald Trump is safe after gunshots were reported in his vicinity Sunday afternoon in Florida, according to his campaign.

“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time,” Steven Cheung, Trump’s campaign communications director said in a release.

The campaign did not immediately provide any additional details.

Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the Secret Service released a statement shortly thereafter.

“The Secret Service, in conjunction with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, is investigating a protective incident involving former President Donald Trump that occurred shortly before 2 p.m,” Guglielmi said.

“The former president is safe. @pbso will have more details soon.”

The news comes roughly two months after the Republican presidential nominee was shot during an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania.
