A suspected gunman who opened fire at a Trump-owned golf course in Florida earlier this week reportedly told police that he was willing to fight and die in Ukraine. The incident, which occurred at the Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami, left the suspect, identified as Jonathan Oddi, in custody and hospitalized with gunshot wounds after exchanging fire with police.
Oddi, a 42-year-old fitness trainer from South Africa, allegedly entered the resort wielding a handgun and began shouting anti-Trump sentiments before firing shots into the ceiling. The incident sparked panic among guests and employees at the club, who were forced to flee the scene or seek shelter until police arrived.
According to reports, Oddi had been ranting about Trump on social media in the days leading up to the incident, claiming that he was a supporter of the president’s political opponent, Hillary Clinton. Oddi also reportedly made threats against the Trump family and expressed his willingness to fight and die in Ukraine, a country that has been embroiled in a conflict with Russia since 2014.
While the exact motives behind Oddi’s actions remain unclear, the incident has once again raised concerns about the security risks associated with the president’s properties. Trump National Doral is one of several high-profile properties owned by the president, and the incident has prompted calls for increased security measures at his various resorts and golf clubs.
President Trump himself praised the response of law enforcement officers who quickly apprehended Oddi and prevented any further harm from occurring. In a tweet, Trump thanked the officers for their “great job” and praised their quick and decisive actions in handling the situation.
The incident at Trump National Doral serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers that can arise in the current political climate. As tensions continue to escalate both domestically and internationally, it is imperative that security measures be strengthened to protect against potential threats and ensure the safety of all individuals at risk.
