Authorities said at a press conference on Sunday that a gunman was “300-500 yards” away from former president Donald Trump as he played a round of golf at his Mar-a-Lago estate. The FBI says it’s investigating “what appears to be an attempted assassination” of Trump. A man with an AK-style rifle pushed the firearm’s muzzle through the perimeter of Trump’s West Palm Beach, Fla., golf course, prompting U.S. Secret Service to open fire, according to three law enforcement officials. The former president is safe and unharmed. The person dropped the weapon and fled in an SUV, and was later apprehended in a neighbouring county, officials said.
