Kamala Harris speaks out, ‘I feel relieved…’ after a shooter fired at Trump’s golf course while the former president was playing
Kamala Harris has broken her silence after shots were fired while Donald Trump was playing golf at his club at West Palm Beach.
Trump was rushed to safety by his Secret Service security detail after the shots rang out at the Florida golf course in the second apparent assassination attempt on the former President in less than two months.
The Vice President who will face-off against the GOP leader in November’s presidential election said she was relieved that no-one was hurt in the latest attempt on her rival’s life.
‘I have been briefed on reports of gunshots fired near former President Trump and his property in Florida, and I am glad he is safe,’ she wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
‘Violence has no place in America.’

The Secret Service reportedly fired back at the gunman and a suspect was later seized in what officials believe was an attempt on the ex-president’s life.
‘President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity,’ Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement. ‘No further details at this time.’
Multiple police sources have confirmed to media that an AK-47 was recovered at the scene and that he was pointing the weapon towards the golf course on Sunday afternoon before shots were fired at 2:00 p.m.
It comes as Trump’s security detail has been ramped up in the two months after the former president was shot in the ear during an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13.
Trump’s golf club is just five miles from his residence at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach and is where the former president is often spotted golfing when he is not on the campaign trail.
Real estate investor and New York City landlord Steve Witkoff was Trump’s golfing buddy on Sunday, sources told DailyMail.com.
The Palm Beach Sheriff’s Department is holding a press conference to provide updates on the shooting.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are aware of the shooting and ‘relieved’ he is not harmed.
‘The President and Vice President have been briefed about the security incident at the Trump International Golf Course, where former President Trump was golfing,’ according to the White House.
‘They are relieved to know that he is safe. They will be kept regularly updated by their team.’

United States Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a post on X: ‘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.’
‘The former president is safe,’ he assured, adding that the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office will follow up with more details about the incident.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said he spoke with Trump moments after news broke.
‘He is one of the strongest people I’ve ever known,’ the senator wrote on X. ‘He’s in good spirits and he is more resolved than ever to save our country.’
It is still unclear how many people were involved in Sunday’s shooting and whether they were targeting the former president.
But just the report of shots near Trump raises eyebrows as multiple investigations are ongoing into the shooting in Pennsylvania earlier this summer that left two dead, including the shooter, and two critically injured.
Trump walked away from the assassination attempt with just a bloody ear that could have been a fatal shot had it been a few millimeters different and struck his head.
But would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was shot dead by Secret Service before he was able to get in another shot at the former president.
Initial canvassing led to authorities discovering his car near the rally site in Butler with explosives and his parent’s home with even more bombs.
Congressional and other local and federal investigations are ongoing to discover what led to the failures that allowed a shooter to get just a few hundred feet away from Trump with an AR-15 rifle.
