A gunman was captured Sunday after apparently trying to shoot former President Donald Trump at a golf course in Florida.

Trump is OK, and no injuries were reported by authorities after Secret Service agents fired at the gunman they spotted in the bushes.

The Associated Press identified the suspect as Ryan Wesley Routh, citing three law enforcement officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said the incident took place about 1:30 p.m. while the former president was golfing at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. They immediately sealed off the area, after Secret Service agents fired four to six rounds at the gunman.
