The shots at Trump's golf course

Suspect is said to have been arrested on the track - information that shots came from Trump's shelter

Several shots have been fired near Donald Trump at the ex-president's golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, the presidential candidate's campaign says, according to Reuters. The ex-president has been taken to safety and one person has been arrested, the police told the New York Times.

CNN has information claiming that an armed person may have been looking for Donald Trump and was on the golf course, but on a different part of the course than where Trump was.

The Secret Service is said to have fired at the suspect as a security measure, according to the channel's sources. Trump was taken away in a golf cart. It is unclear if the suspect also fired shots.

The NY Post wrote early on that two people shot at each other outside the golf course and that no shots were fired at Trump, but the newspaper has retracted the statement.

The FBI is investigating the incident and states that it appears to be an attempted murder, AP writes.

Police say the motive is unknown. A press conference will be held later on Sunday evening.
