(CNN) — The man who opened fire early Friday at the Trump National Doral Golf Club had been yelling "anti-Trump ... rhetoric" there, Miami-Dade police Director Juan Perez said.
The suspect was identified as Jonathan Oddi, 42, of Doral, Florida. Oddi is in stable condition after police shot him in an exchange of gunfire, Perez said. A Doral police officer suffered broken bones but was not shot, the official said.
The gunman took a flag from a pole in the rear of the complex, brought it into the hotel lobby, draped it over a counter, yelled rhetoric against President Donald Trump and fired a gun into the air -- at the roof and chandeliers, Perez said.
He then "waited for officers to engage him," Perez said.
Perez said the man's immediate motive seemed to be to lure police into a gunfight.
An investigation is underway, and will include the FBI, the Secret Service and local police.
No one under Secret Service protection was in the Miami area at the time of the shooting, a Secret Service representative said.
The Trump National Doral Golf Club, an 800-acre resort outside Miami, is a former host of PGA Tour and World Golf Championship events.
I wonder what the ratio of anti-Trump liberal violence is, relative to the number of incidents under Obama, under what the media portrayed as "a surge in right-wing/racist violence" against a black president.
Wouldn't it be nice if they covered the ACTUAL surge in LEFT-wing violence in a similar and proportionate manner to how often they occur. Vs. in the Obama years, how they blamed every shooting on right-wing/Tea Party angry rhetoric, and over and over, a day or two later the shooter would turn out to be a left-winger. The media finally got a right-wing shooter when some guy shot up a liberal park meeting in Norway. But they had to look in another country to find their "right wing shooter."
