Palm Beach County Sherrif Ric Bradshaw speaks at a press conference in West Palm Beach, Florida, on September 15.
The gunman was 300 to 500 yards away from former President Donald Trump, a Secret Service official said.
The former president was one or two holes behind because the security detail moves ahead to make sure the area is cleared.
The agent noticed the rifle barrel sticking out during the advance check, the official said.
“The US Secret Service personnel opened fire on a gunman located near the property line and this matter is under investigation,” the Secret Service representative said.
