    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.)

    “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.
