News that former President Trump was safe after gunshots rang out nearby as he played at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach had lawmakers, family and others reacting to the news.

The shots were later determined to have been fired by Secret Service agents at a man who was carrying an AK-47 in what the FBI said appears to have been an assassination attempt. Trump was playing the club’s fifth hole, when the shots rang out and Secret Service agents rushed him to safety. Steven Cheung from the Trump Campaign communications team issued a statement after the event.

“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time,” Cheung said.

Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., responded, saying, “Again folks!” It was a grim allusion to the attempted assassination of Trump July 13 at a rally in Butler, Pa.

“There is an active investigation into this incident as law enforcement gathers more details about what happened,” Biden said. “As I have said many times, there is no place for political violence or for any violence ever in our country, and I have directed my team to continue to ensure that Secret Service has every resource, capability and protective measure necessary to ensure the former President’s continued safety.”

Rep. Anna Paulina, R-Fla., blamed the “radical left” for its continuous labeling of Republicans and Americans who want to have a safe and prosperous country as “threats to democracy.”

“This irresponsible rhetoric is causing people to get hurt. I just had to report my opponent’s [supporters] for soliciting strangers to send threatening packages to my home. She has refused to condemn this and her supporters for [doxing] me,” Paulina wrote. “This election is absolutely one of the most important elections in our history. We cannot bow down to intimidation, violence, and persecution. We must stand strong and bring home the win this November.

“Our family is praying for President Trump as he has taken on a monumental task,” she added.

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., released the following statement after learning of the attempted assassination of Trump on Sunday.

“I am grateful to hear that President Trump is safe following today’s reported assassination attempt in Florida. I join in thanks for our hardworking law enforcement officers working to keep President Trump, his family, and his team safe,” she wrote. “However, we must ask ourselves how an assassin was allowed to get this close to President Trump again? There continues to be a lack of answers for the horrific assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, and we expect there to be a clear explanation of what happened today in Florida. Thankfully, God continues to watch over President Trump. As Americans, we must unite behind him in November to protect our republic and bring peace back to the world.”

“Political violence, in any form, cannot be accepted or normalized in this country,” she wrote on X.
