Shots Fired At Trump's Miami Golf Course, One Arrested

Source: Newsweek

One person has been detained after shots were fired at the the Trump National Doral Golf Club, near Miami, Florida.

According to the Doral Police Department, there are no known victims and no further threat expected. According to CBS4 News in Miami, the suspect is believed to have been shot and wounded by police during a confrontation, in which an officer was also injured.

A reporter for CBS4 News in Miami tweeted, "It is not clear if the man was armed or if he exchanged gunfire with officers. Both Doral Police and Miami Dade PD were involved. One officer was injured during the initial scuffle with police."

The Trump National Doral Golf Club was first established in 1962 in a western suburb of Miami by real estate developer Alfred Kaskel. The Trump Organization purchased the resort in 2012 for $150 million from its bankrupt owners

The purchase and renovation of the resort was financed with a $125 million loan from Deutsche Bank.

8. Man firing gun and ranting about Trump shot by police inside Trump National Doral resort
Fri May 18, 2018, 07:58 AM
May 2018

A gunman ranting about President Donald Trump walked into the lobby of Trump National Doral Miami resort early Friday morning, draped an American flag on the counter and began firing.

The man — who was not a guest at the resort — waited in the lobby for police officers to arrive before luring them into a gunfight, authorities said. During the gunfight, the unidentified man was struck several times in the lower body. No workers at the resort or guests were injured. A Doral cop hurt his wrist.


“There’s a shootout in the lobby,” said Miami-Dade Police Director Juan Perez. “He’s at the hospital stable. Don’t know how many times he was hit.”

Jonathan Oddi, a 42-year-old from Doral, was the shooter, police say. Oddi has little online presence and no obvious political ties.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.

But his Twitter account linked to a post on what appears to be his Instagram page criticizing Colin Kaepernick for the quarterback's kneeling protests at NFL games, casting doubt on the early-morning Twitter narrative claiming the shooter was a liberal Trump critic (image below):
