<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> appears to have been the intended target in a shooting at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday, according to a report. The former president is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-is-safe-following-gunshots-in-his-vicinity-campaign-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">safe</a>, his campaign said in a statement.</p>
<p>CNN <a href="https://x.com/brianstelter/status/1835396176344182896" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> officials &#8220;believe the shots fired at Trump International Golf Club were intended for&#8221; Trump, citing sources familiar&#8221; with the matter, although the outlet later suggested that it was unclear whether the suspect opened fire.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Secret Service identified the direction&#8221; of the shots and &#8220;returned fire at that gunman, who fled,&#8221; CNN Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst and former police official John Miller said on the air.</p>
<p>&#8220;Witnesses were able to provide a description of an individual and a vehicle. We are told that a vehicle that is close to that description has been stopped&#8221; by police and they were holding that individual for identification purposes, Miller said.</p>
<p>Miller, who stressed his information was preliminary, said his sources shared that a backpack and a semi-automatic rifle &#8220;that was described as an AK-47&#8221; in early reporting were recovered in the area of the shooting.</p>
<p>A GoPro camera was also discovered, suggesting &#8220;this individual may have wanted to record himself in the first-person doing the shooting,&#8221; Miller added before explaining how there were &#8220;a lot of questions to be answered.&#8221;</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">&gt;&gt; <a href="https://twitter.com/JohnMillerCNN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JohnMillerCNN</a>: All this info is preliminary. But &quot;in the area of the shooting, sources say they recovered a backpack and a semi-automatic rifle&#8230; and a GoPro camera.&quot;  The camera suggests &quot;that this individual may have wanted to record himself in the first person.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/ACliktYvHg">pic.twitter.com/ACliktYvHg</a></p>

<p>In a break with Miller, CNN&#8217;s Evan Perez <a href="https://x.com/brianstelter/status/1835407502697250867" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the Secret Service fired at the suspect because they believed &#8220;this person was poised to fire shots, perhaps in the direction of the former president,&#8221; and wanted to &#8220;prevent this from happening.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Secret Service <a href="https://x.com/SecretSvcSpox/status/1835390587673153888" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> it was joining with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office to investigate &#8220;a protective incident involving&#8221; Trump that &#8220;occurred shortly before 2 p.m.&#8221; and affirmed that the former president was &#8220;safe.&#8221;</p>
<p>On Facebook, the Martin County Sheriff&#8217;s Office <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MartinCountySheriffsOffice/posts/pfbid02HA1dFigYmSDFfvpCH61ryvB8XsFCanCgAeLLfv2rdQdL1V9yf1eAsaXKNovg55zdl?rdid=KzalITmD6M76Zn7s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> it stopped a vehicle and a suspect believed to be connected to the shooting was taken into custody. Martin County is located just north of Palm Beach County.</p>
<p>And the FBI later released a <a href="https://x.com/MacFarlaneNews/status/1835419229232750757" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>, saying, &#8220;The FBI has responded to West Palm Beach Florida and is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Trump.&#8221;</p>
<p>During a press briefing that followed, Rafael Barros of the Secret Service <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/09/15/us/harris-trump-election/32caa0a8-fd61-5526-8fa5-d5849a61a5e2?smid=url-share" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, &#8220;We are not sure right now if the individual was able to take a shot at our agents, <a href="https://www.notus.org/trump-2024/fbi-investigating-possible-attempted-assassination-aimed-at-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">but for sure</a>, our agents were able to engage.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump previously went through a harrowing attack in mid-July, when a shooter opened fire on him while he was speaking to a crowd during an outdoor campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>The former president survived, though he was hit in his right ear <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-now-claims-there-was-never-any-doubt-trump-was-hit-by-a-bullet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">by a bullet</a>. He <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-stops-secret-service-from-carrying-him-off-raises-fist-and-tells-supporters-fight-fight-fight" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raised</a> his fist into the air in a show of strength. One rallygoer, 50-year-old fireman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dana-white-kid-rock-donate-to-fundraiser-for-shooting-victims-surpasses-2-million-in-under-24-hours" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Corey Comperatore</a>, was killed. Two other attendees were wounded.</p>
<p>Secret Service snipers took out the gunman, identified as a 20-year-old Pennsylvania man named Thomas Matthew Crooks, who unleashed the attack with a rifle from the roof of a building about 150 yards away from the stage.</p>
<p>Multiple <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-votes-to-establish-task-force-on-trump-assassination-attempt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investigations</a> ensued, with questions swirling about how law enforcement failed to stop the gunman in Butler before the shooting despite warning signs. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/secret-service-director-resigns-amid-uproar-over-trump-assassination-attempt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resigned</a> amid blowback.</p>
