      He’ll be fine, he’s out golfing, not confined in a small room of 20-30 people that’s cluttered and only has one door.

    Shooter was a secret service agent firing at someone they thought had a gun. Suspect was arrested, no word yet if they ACTUALLY had a gun or not.

    (I know, I know, NYP, but after going through 5 articles, this one seems to have the most detail.)

    https://nypost.com/2024/09/15/us-news/shooting-reported-at-donald-trumps-golf-club-while-ex-president-was-on-grounds/

    “Initial reports suggested two people were firing at each other. However, sources said investigators now believe the Secret Service agent was the only shooter.”

      no word yet if they ACTUALLY had a gun or not.

      CNN via (HBO)Max reporting that they found an AK-47 in the bushes:

      Law enforcement officials found a weapon and other items left behind by the suspect where he was positioned in the bushes near the Trump International Golf Club in South Florida on Sunday.

      “In the bushes, where this guy was, is an AK-47 style rifle with a scope; two backpacks, which were hung on the fence and had ceramic tile in them; and a GoPro. … So, those are being processed right now,” Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said.

    Everything they say is to distract from the fact that they have no policies that improve the lives of the vast majority of their constituents.

        A decade after stating they’re working on a plan, years after saying it would be unveiled “in two weeks”. What a disappointment, that we’re forced to take these obvious pathological liars seriously again.

    If guns are good, and more guns mean more safety, why are they shooting at someone just because they have a gun?

      Guns are only good when I have a gun. When you have a gun, then I’m terrified for my life and have to stand my ground. Especially if I’m “defending” property that may or may not be mine.

    A Secret Service agent was one hole ahead of Trump while he was golfing and spotted a rifle barrel sticking out of a fence in the golf club, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw of Palm Beach County said at a news conference. The agent “immediately engaged” with the person holding the rifle, who fled. Bradshaw confirmed that law enforcement officials had a potential suspect in custody.

        With a scope an AK style gun is effectively maxed out at 300m. After that their accuracy is too low to reliably hit the target. They are designed to put out a spray of bullets at closer ranges. In WWII most combat occured at ranges under 200m so they are effective for what they were designed for.

        Very good for combat, not so good for sniping.
