A Florida man who opened fire at a Trump property in May has been charged with attempted murder of law enforcement officers.
Jonathan Oddi, 42, was also charged with armed burglary and armed grand theft in relation to his “anti-Trump” actions.
On May 18, Oddi, brandishing an American flag he had taken from the grounds, stormed into the lobby at Trump National Doral Golf Club shortly after 1 a.m. and opened fire before being eventually subdued by authorities.
“This guy was ready for war, he was waiting for our officers to come in,” Miami-Dade Police Director Juan Perez said of Oddi’s behavior. Perez noted that Oddi was yelling “anti-Trump” rhetoric about the president.
Oddi was eventually shot in the legs and disarmed by authorities. He was transported to a nearby hospital and is expected to recover.
One Miami-Dade officer injured his wrist in the altercation.
Secret Service and local authorities were investigating the matter, though an official motive for the attack has not yet been released.
