Shots Fired at Trump's Mar-a-Lago Golf Resort
Shots Fired at Trump's Mar-a-Lago Golf Resort as Car Ploughs Through Security Checks
Shots have been fired at US President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida as he is scheduled to spend this weekend in Palm Beach for the Super Bowl
Daily Mirror UK, 9 FEB,2020.
Shots have been fired outside Donald Trump's Mar-a-lago members' club in Florida as a car tried to ram its way in - hours before the US President is due to arrive.
Two suspects have been arrested after a dramatic police chase and Palm Beach is on lockdown with a massive police presence. The FBI has launched an investigation.
Initial reports from America said a suspect, believed to be a woman, rammed the northern checkpoint near the sprawling resort before police and secret service officials fired their guns at her.
The woman was able to get away and spent some time on the run, WSVN 7 News reported.
Police now say two suspects have been arrested after a pursuit.
A statement from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office reads: "FHP (Florida Highway Patrol) was in pursuit of a black SUV. The black SUV was headed towards two security check points at Mar-a-Lago, in the town of Palm Beach.
"The SUV breached both security check points heading towards the main entrance.
"Officials discharged their firearms at the vehicle.
