Former U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed he is safe after gunshots were fired close to his location, raising concerns about a possible second attempt on his life.
In a statement today, Trump said he was unharmed and well. “I am safe and okay,” he assured. “Thank you for all the support. I want everyone to know that I am fine.”
The gunshots were reported late last night near Trump’s home in New York. Police quickly arrived and are investigating what happened.
Early reports suggest that the gunshots were fired from a distance and that no one was injured. Authorities are taking the incident seriously and are working to find out who fired the shots and why.
This comes after an earlier incident this year when a suspicious package was discovered, leading to more security around Trump.
Trump’s team said they are adding extra security to keep him safe. “We are doing everything needed to protect the former president,” a spokesperson said. “We are working with police to deal with this situation and prevent any further threats.”
The shooting has caught the attention of many people, including politicians and the public, who are worried about Trump’s safety. It also highlights the ongoing risks faced by high-profile individuals and the need for strong security.
As the investigation continues, police are asking anyone with information about the shooting to come forward. They are also checking surveillance videos and other evidence to figure out what happened.
This incident shows the challenges of keeping prominent people safe and the importance of effective security measures.
