Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson confirmed that the Secret Service saw the man lift an AK-47 and opened fire.

“Please tell everyone that I'm OK and that the Secret Service did a great job,” Trump praised.
The Secret Service also confirmed the incident and said it was working closely with authorities to investigate the situation.
“The Secret Service, in coordination with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, is investigating the incident involving security for former President Donald Trump which occurred just before 2:00 p.m. The former President is safe,” the agency confirmed in X's post.
