on september 15, local time, former us president and republican presidential candidate trump was playing golf at the trump international golf club in florida when gunshots were heard nearby. a gunman appeared near the golf course, and secret service agents shot him for protection purposes. the suspect drove away and was later arrested.
trump later recalled in an interview that he heard four or five gunshots and wanted to fire one last shot, but was taken away by agents. fortunately, trump was safe and sound. the fbi said on the same day that it was investigating the incident and called it a "suspected assassination attempt against trump."
this is the second time trump has been in danger following the "assassination attempt" in july this year. his rival harris issued a statement condemning political violence, saying that she was "deeply disturbed and clearly condemned" it.
on september 16, the current us president biden also publicly talked about the incident, saying that "the united states has zero tolerance for political violence." the white house said biden and trump had a "cordial conversation" and expressed relief that biden was safe, and trump also thanked biden for the call.
