The US Secret Service said it was investigating the incident, which occurred shortly before 2 pm local time (7 pm BST). The shots reportedly originated outside the course's perimeter fence. Trump's campaign said he was safe following gunshots in his vicinity but gave no details of his location at the time.
In a statement last night, Trump said: "There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL! "Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER!" Last night, CNN reported Martin County Sheriff William Snyder saying that police had arrested a suspect that they were looking for.
