After gunshots were reported while he was golfing at his club in West Palm Beach at the Trump International Golf Course. Not maralago. The former president is fine. His campaign says those shots were fired in the vicinity of the Golf Course. We are now waiting for an update from the secret Service And Police about all of this. Hello and welcome to Fox News live. Im Eric Shawn and im arthel neville. So the Trump Campaign did not specify where those shots may have been fired. And this of course, is coming two months after the former president was shot at a rally in butler, pennsylvania. And we do have Sean Hannity. Sean is going to join us live right now from your home studio, sean. Unfortunately, were talking about this very subject today, unfortunately. But what do you know . Have you spoken to the former president . I have spoken to the president , and i spoke to his Golf Partner, Steve Witkoff, a well known developer, businessman in miami and the Palm Beach area. So i got a lot of details. Im very aware of the new York Post report that said that it was, well outside of the whats called Trump International in West Palm Beach, which is where actually where i am. And anyway, so long story short, is President Trump. They were on the fifth hole. They were about to go up to putt. And the way Steve Witkoff now, just as a little bit of background arthe, i happened to go to breakfast with Steve Witkoff and another friend of mine this morning, and i was invited to play golf. They happen to be really good golfers. Im not a i dont have a lot of time to play golf, so i didnt. I said thank you, but im not going to go out on the Golf Course and get get killed out there. But long story short. So they were playing. They were on the fifth hole. And the way steve described this, the way the president described it, they both had exactly the same story, which was that they heard pop, pop, pop, pop. And steve went into great specificity and great detail as to what happened right after. Within seconds, the Secret Service pounced on the president , covered him. You had snipers with tripods. They knew the direction. Where where the shots had been fired and they had eyes on the location where the shots had been fired. And long story short, they were i have i have confirmed, with both the president and with mr. Witkoff that the gun has been found. They identified it as an Ak 47. And thanks to Secret Service drone video coverage, they were able to identify the one individual involved in this shooting getting into a car after dropping the Ak 47 and my understanding, according to both of them, is that that car has been identified and i believe its been surrounded. Whether or not that that person has been apprehended or not, i dont know. This happened in a matter of seconds. A little more color, a little bit more details on this is that when they got on top of the president immediately what is called a fast cart, that i believe has Steel Reinforcement and, and, and protection was able to whisk the president away. And then the Secret Service immediately sprung into action. They had eyes on where the shooting had occurred. I saw the new York Post report that these were two people shooting at Each Other outside the course. I do know, and they did confirm that the shots were outside of the course, but certainly seemingly within range of the former president. So we dont have any details on any of that. They dont know that part. I only know the part of what they experienced while they were playing golf at Trump International in West Palm. Thankfully, the president is safe. Steve witkoff is safe. The Secret Service apparently acted with incredible Speed And Professionalism and but but certainly alarming in every way imaginable. In light of what happened in butler, as you mentioned. Yeah, of course this is very alarming. And sean, have you spoken to the former president or texted with him . I have spoken with the president three times since this incident. And each time i got a new piece of information, one that they had found. First of all, what happened with the shooting, the second thing that they had found an Ak 47. Third, that their Drone Footage was able to give them enough surveillance to identify the exact car that the individual involved in the shooting got into. And further detail that they gave me was that that they were updated and told that that car had been found, identified, was surrounded by Law Enforcement. I dont know what happened from there. It could not have been too far away. I would say the time frame was less than a half hour between the time that the shooting actually took place, and they identified the car. So im trying to find out, like, how is he doing . Thats what we want to know. How is he doing . If you spoke to him . Well, you you really want to know The Truth . Arthel he goes, i really well, theres more details because i did hear and Steve Witkoff was very clear, the first thing the president did when he got back to the clubhouse was make sure that Everybody Else was okay. He didnt see his Golf Partner with him. Wheres steve, wheres steve, wheres steve . And then steve says, im right here. He got in maybe a few minutes behind the president. The Secret Service was able to get everybody to safety. Everybody else was taken off the Golf Course. Then when the president found out, everybody was safe and nobody had been harmed, i guess in typical fight, fight, fight fashion, trump said to steve. And then he related to me, oh, i really wanted to finish the whole i was even and i had a i had a Birdie Putt and it was on the fifth. It was on the fifth hole, which shows a lot of, i think, guts and gumption and very trumpian, i guess, in every way. But, you know, the good news we can report is that that in spite of this being in such close proximity to the president and others and the Secret Service, that they were not harmed and that they are in safety, and i know the investigation will go forward, probably more details, i would imagine, as time unfolds. Sean, for those who dont know that area, the Trump International Golf Course, West Palm Beach, across the causeway from maralago, i mean, its in a residential neighborhood. Youve got, you know, Burger Kings and convenience stores all around. Any word do we know from police was this Gang Related or Gang Related shooting . Two gunmen shooting at Each Others. And youve got to hand it to the Secret Service to have a Drone Up and to be able to identify this, you know, so quickly. Right there was only one credible News Report that i saw, and it was part of news corp, which runs the Fox News channel, came from the new York Post that they believed the shooting was between two people outside of the Golf Course. But theres not a lot of details to that as of this moment. Now, i would assume were going to get more information from the Secret Service. I know that there were at least 30 to 50 sheriff and West Palm Beach police there. They responded immediately. I happen to be driving in and around the area. I drove past maralago to see what was going on. There was a heavy, heavy Police Presence ever since the shooting in butler. That had been a very common scene, but not like this. It was it was more active than usual. And but you know, the fact that everybodys okay. And four shots were fired. It is, its just its honestly its disheartening on one level. Its sad on another level. And its scary on a level that, you know, somebody with an Ak 47 could be that close to the president or former president and top president ial candidate and, you know, just 50 days before an election. Yeah, sean, youre right. Its very disturbing. Everybodys nerves are on edge. And as you just told us, that the president and former president , his true fashion that he has, you know, kind of sucked it up and just said, look, im okay. My people are okay. And i wish i had finished my golf round there, but it is a very tense time and we dont know exactly right now if in fact, this was something that was directed at the president or this was something happening, you know, separate from him, but it definitely was too close for comfort, given what happened on July 13th in butler, pennsylvania. Yeah i think arthel youre raising a really good question. And well find out. And i never loved to i never liked to rush to judgment. And it has served me very well in my career. And i think thats why we got ferguson, missouri, right. And Duke Lacrosse and Uva And Freddie gray and baltimore and early in my career, when the Atlanta Journal Constitution said that Richard Jewell fit the profile of the lone bomber because he lived with his mother, i was on the air at the time. I didnt know that Richard Jewell was even listening to my show. I found out later and i said, just because he lives with his mother does not fit the profile of somebody, that would be involved in a bombing. So when situations like this do unfold, i think the important thing to do is wait for the details to come in. The good news that we can tell you, i can add one little piece to the equation is that the president got home very late last night. He had a rally, i believe it was in salt lake. He flew in, maybe got to Palm Beach around two, 230 in the morning. And when i went to breakfast, that was planned with Steve Witkoff and another friend of ours. And when i went to breakfast with them this morning, we went to our favorite diner, and, its called City Diner by the way, we went there and the president had written him when he gottome had a now, we know everybodys okay, but weve got to understand what the perimeter is, in my view, arthel, which is what you were saying, you know, in other words, i would say we define a perimeter for any elected official. Republican, democrat, liberal, conservative. I dont care that its got to be within any distance of any long high powered rifle. Thats got to be considered the perimeter going forward. We saw the democratic senator this week telling america theyre going to be shocked and appalled at what we learn about the Butler Shooting. And well have an interim report coming out maybe this week or next week. And thats those words are chillin. Thats thats Senator Blumenthal that made those comments. So long story short, i think theres a lot more that we have to find out. Id like to hear from the Secret Service. Id like to hear from Law Enforcement. I feel like a lot of information in the Butler Shooting was very slow in coming forward. If this was an outside event, as the new York Post is reporting, fine. Lets get the details of that as well. The american people have a right to know, and we have to certainly reexamine what the perimeter is for any president , any president ial candidate, any high Ranking Official, in terms of the distance and the power of, of a rifle and what it could do. But to hear Steve Witkoff describe, he heard pop pop, pop, pop and the secret Service Diving on the president. And hes watching all of this unfold in real time is a pretty chilling scenario. It must have been really frightening and harrowing. Thankfully, sean, the president , the former president is okay. And it kind of reminds me, remember when President Ronald Reagan was shot, his humor, he said when he was in the emergency room, he said, honey, i forgot to duck for the former president to say i couldnt finish my fifth hole. Certainly, authorities will find out what happened here. And if this indeed is a story that directly to me, eric, he said, he said, well, and then Steve Witkoff confirmed it once he knew everybody was safe, his first priority, he was in a bit of a panic about wheres steve, wheres steve, wheres steve . He didnt know what had happened because he had got whisked away in a Golf Cart that moves like 100 miles, A Hundred miles an hour. Then you then steve is watching these guys on tripods, identifying the location where the shots were fired. And so hes watching that unfold, probably seeing his Life Flash behind i, you know, before his eyes, then gets back and hes wondering, okay, where are my friends . Where are the Secret Service agents . The president did go out of his way to praise every one of these agents. Steve did say that he went up to all of them individually, thanked them, shook their hand, told them how much he appreciated them, and then he went to the oh, i was even. It was the fifth hole. I had a Birdie Putt. I really wanted to finish the hole so well. Classic trump, if you ask me. Well, were happy that as of now this is a good note to end on. But as you said, sean, the investigation definitely will continue. And of course we here at fox will have all the details as we get them. Sean. Thank you. All right. Sean good to see you. Thank you, thank you. Good to see you guys. Absolutely for more Lucas Tomlinson now at the White House with the latest from there. Hi lucas. Good afternoon eric. Were told that the Palm Beach county Sheriffs Office will be holding a Press Conference shortly. Right now i have a few statements to read first from the Trump Campaign. Who writes President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. No further details at this time. We also have a statement from the Secret Service, which i believe you have. Ill read it. The Secret Service, in conjunction with the Palm Beach county Sheriffs Office, is investigating a protective incident involving former President Donald Trump that occurred shortly before 2 p. M. The former president s safe Palm Beach county Sheriffs Office will have more details soon, referring to that Press Conference thats coming up now. As arthel mentioned, off the top, this incident comes almost exactly two months to the day when President Trump was shot in butler, pennsylvania. It is not clear right now where those gunshots came from. Were told they happened outside of Trump International, former President Trumps Golf Club where he was playing, as we just heard from sean, he was on the front line when this incident happened. The president was immediately rushed off the course and back to maralago. So were awaiting this Press Conference. But again, its not clear who fired those shots. We should hear more shortly. And Ak 47, i mean, one would think i dont want to speculate too far ahead. Youve got Gang Related crimes, this sort of thing. It is a residential neighborhood, also a commercial strip. So maybe there could be something like that involved. And the former President Of The United States happens to be playing golf nearby. You know, it certainly is pretty alarming. Thats right, eric, and its important to note that this trip to maralago and to his Golf Club was not on any kind of public schedule. So it wouldnt have been clear where the president was. So nobody knew where he was outside of his Inner Circle in the campaign. Of course, its also notable that this Golf Club is very close to the West Palm Beach airport as well. Eric all right. Lucas, thank you so much for the very latest from the White House on this situation. Well get back to you as soon as the Secret Service has a comment and a statement about that. Art thou all right, lucas and eric, right now were going to bring in former nypd Commanding Officer and Fox News Contributor Paul Mauro. So, you know, paul, the details are very sketchy at this point, but there are a couple of key details that we do have, and id like to reiterate those. What lucas just reported that this shooting took place near the West Palm Beach airport, an Ak 47 gun has been found. Sean hannity told us that one individual, according to sean, was getting out of the car. He and the car has been identified. So and the other thing that lucas just pointed out that the former president s Golf Game was not on a public schedule, given those few minor details that we do have. What are you thinking at this point . So, as you say, you know, we only have some fun facts. And one of the things weve all learned over as cops, you know, throughout your career, but also in the news media, is that of the first ten reports, nine will likely be inaccurate. But going on those facts, it does argue that the former president was not the target and that this may be some sort of a dispute. It could be something as prosaic and routine as a, an argument between two drivers. This could be a Road Rage thing, because we do know that cars were involved. It may be one Car Shooting at another, or maybe something with a deeper motive, i think to advance the story a little bit with what we know now, we can look a little bit at the Law Enforcement response. It looks like the enhanced protection around Donald Trump reacted, as you would hope they would. And local Law Enforcement seems to have gotten on to this very, very quickly. And just for the purposes of some insight, the local cops will have the Trump Related Locations flagged as Quote Unquote sensitive locations. These are places that the former president is known to either live or have an interest, like the Golf Club. And so there should be and it appears there were protocols in place for them to respond, because as you can imagine, if this were more serious or had gone worse, you have all these cops, cops who are trained to run towards the danger, right . You have all these cops, theyre armed, theyre excited, theyre running to this situation. And yet you have the Secret Service who is looking to protect the president. Those things could get messy. And thats why these protocols are important. Yeah, very much very important. And of course, were waiting to hear from the Palm Beach county Sheriffs Office, also, the West Palm Beach Sheriffs Office. So pardon me, in a situation like this, of course, all hands on deck. Anytime you have any incident, even though were not sure if this was directly directed at the former president , but definitely in the vicinity. And again, we were just talking with Sean Hannity saying just that nerves are on edge given what happened on July 13th in butler, pennsylvania
