Cops shoot gunman at Trump golf resort

WASHINGTON, D.C.: Florida police shot and injured a gunman “yelling” about United States President Donald Trump in the lobby of a Trump Organisationowned golf resort near Miami, Florida, authorities said yesterday.

Officers from both the Doral and Miami-Dade Police Departments responded to reports of shots fired at the Trump National Doral golf resort in the early hours of yesterday morning.

The police department confirmed in a statement that there were no known victims.

Local media reported the unidentified assailant was shot multiple times and transported to a local hospital, while one officer suffered a wrist injury not related to gunfire.

According to reports, police said the man was “yelling and spewing” information about the president and had draped an American flag over the hotel lobby’s counter.

“These officers did not hesitate one second to engage this individual who was actively shooting in the lobby of the hotel,” MiamiDade police director Juan Perez said.

“They risked their lives, knowing that they had to get in there, to save lives in that hotel.”

On Twitter, Eric Trump — President Trump’s son and executive vice-president of the Trump Organisation — expressed a “huge thank you to the incredible men and women” of both police departments. “We are very grateful to you!”, he wrote.
