The Secret Service is investigating
Donald Trump ’s campaign team says he is safe after gunshots were reported in his vicinity in Florida on Sunday afternoon. The presidential hopeful's campaign did not immediately provide any additional details. Campaign communications director Steven Cheung says Mr Trump was safe. The Secret Service later confirmed the former president was safe following the incident, and that it was investigating the situation.
The news comes roughly two months after the Republican presidential nominee was shot during an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13. Gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, shot and killed local firefighter Corey Comperatore and injured two other men as he also grazed Trump's ear. He was almost instantaneously neutralised by the Secret Service after they spotted him on the roof of a nearby building that overlooked the rally, which was held at the Butler Farm Show Inc.
