00:00
Yeah, there's still a bit of a confused picture emerging at the moment.
00:04
There is conflicting pieces of information coming in at the moment.
00:09
So far, we know that the spokesperson for the Trump campaign has said that Donald Trump
00:14
is safe.
00:15
That also backed up by the Secret Service, who say they are investigating after there
00:19
were shots fired in the vicinity of his West Palm Beach resort.
00:23
At the moment, we don't know whether those shots were fired outside or inside of the
00:28
bounds of that golf club, or whether Donald Trump himself was indeed the target of that
00:34
shooting.
00:35
It appears, by some accounts, that he wasn't.
00:39
There's also conflicting reports as to whether the shooting was taking place between Secret
00:43
Service and members of the public, or it was two members of the public shooting at each
00:47
other.
00:48
Those details still not yet fully realised.
00:51
We are learning, sorry for looking down, but we are getting stuff coming in to us as this
00:55
is happening.
00:57
We are hearing that the West Palm Beach County Sheriff's Department will be holding a press
01:02
conference about this shooting.
01:04
They don't give a time for that conference just yet.
01:06
But also on X on Twitter, we are hearing from Donald Trump Jr., so Donald Trump's son.
01:12
He says that an AK-47 was discovered in the bushes per local law enforcement.
01:17
The Trump campaign has released a statement confirming former President Trump is safe.
01:20
A suspect has reportedly been apprehended.
01:23
Again, that cannot be verified by us.
01:26
That is the words of Donald Trump Jr. on Twitter.
01:29
But so far, we have not had that backed up by law enforcement, nor by the Secret Service.
01:34
And we are waiting for more information to be verified and to be confirmed by police
01:39
sources before we get a better idea of what's happening.
01:44
We know also the president and the vice president have both been briefed on this as well.
01:49
They say that they are relieved that the former president is safe, and both the vice president
01:54
and the president will be kept up to date on this as the situation develops.
01:59
And we will do the same for you, our viewers, as well.
02:02
And Fraser, of course, this is all happening while the campaign for the race to the White
02:06
House is going on.
02:08
Yeah, it's obviously quite a trying time.
02:13
And of course, remember, it calls your mind back just two months ago now.
02:16
So much has happened since then that in some ways it's almost easy to forget.
02:20
But Donald Trump was a survivor of an assassination attempt on his life in mid-July as well.
02:27
So security is heightened around him because of that in the wake of that shooting.
02:32
And of course, it is something that the Secret Service is now extremely wary of because they
02:37
came under a lot of pressure in the wake of that assassination attempt.
02:41
They actually lost the head of the Secret Service after a parliamentary review.
02:46
She stepped down, stepped aside from the job.
02:50
Those investigations are still ongoing into how that happened.
02:54
So it takes place against a backdrop of a heightened tension within the Secret Service
03:00
and wider electorate as well.
03:02
So no doubt this will be closely watched by Kamala Harris and by the Democrats as well
03:09
to see what is happening with this incident.
03:12
But obviously at the moment, everybody just relieved that once again, Donald Trump is
03:16
safe after this shooting.
03:18
But once again, no confirmation that this shooting was actually directed towards Donald
03:23
Trump but rather happening in the area that he also was in.
03:26
We'll confirm that once we know more.
