A man was arrested in Miami after he entered the Trump National Doral Miami resort on Friday and began shooting at police officers, the Miami Herald reported.
The suspect, Jonathan Oddi, reportedly entered the resort lobby in the early hours of Friday morning and took a U.S. flag down before shooting at the ceiling and chandelier with a handgun. He was yelling "anti-President Trump rhetoric," police said, and fired at police when they entered the lobby. None of the five officers were shot, but Oddi suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his legs as police "neutralized" him.
Oddi is in custody, and police have not yet identified a motive. Officials say he seemed to lure officers toward him, setting off a fire alarm to alert law enforcement. Read more at the Miami Herald.
