Palm Beach County Jail records did not list an arrest overnight.
Police said they received reports of shots fired in the area of Barbados Drive, which lies just north of the course's clubhouse along Parkside Drive and leads into a residential area immediately west of it.
"The area is deemed safe and all clear. The investigation is ongoing," reads the release. "As a precaution, we are asking residents and visitors to avoid the area while officers investigate."

Florida Atlantic University, which has a campus across the street from the golf course, reported an active threat on social media. The school's X account asked people to stay away from the campus until further notice. It later posted that there is no threat to the campus and normal operations have resumed.
"RUN, HIDE, FIGHT," reads the FAU statement. "Follow police instructions."

Man accused of shooting Marysville police officer indicted on nine charges
MARYSVILLE, Ohio (WCMH) — The man accused of shooting at a Marysville police officer before he drove away has been indicted on nine charges, including attempted aggravated murder. A Union County grand jury returned the indictment Friday against Dustin M. Ohm, 29, of Marysville. On May 30, police responded to a domestic dispute call on White Oak Court. According to details from police and Union County Prosecutor David Phillips, a sergeant tried to get Ohm, who was impaired, to exit his pickup truck. He refused and revved his engine. As the sergeant moved to deploy her taser, Ohm fired at nearly point-blank range. The sergeant was struck by shattered glass and two shots were found embedded in a house. Ohm then reportedly fired at three other officers, coming under return fire, and drove away. He crashed into multiple cars, including a police cruiser, exiting the neighborhood. The chase was joined by sheriff's deputies and the Ohio State Highway Patrol, ending on U.S. 33 in the median strip near Northwest Parkway. Ohm got out of the car armed and was shot several times by law enforcement. Phillips said that Ohm was also struck by a self-inflicted gunshot. The charges that Ohm faces are: Attempted aggravated murder of a law enforcement officer Three counts of felonious assault on a peace officer Having weapons while under disability Two counts of failure to comply with an order or signal of a police officer Discharging a firearm at or into a habitation Vandalism The sergeant struck by Ohm was treated at a hospital, and Ohm remains in a hospital under guard, Phillips said. The shooting of the Marysville officer was one of several times that central Ohio law enforcement officers have come under fire in recent weeks. A Morrow County deputy was fatally shot on Memorial Day, and two Mifflin Township officers were shot by a man on probation, sparking a manhunt after he ran away. Ohm is due in court on June 25.

Will a ‘No Kings' anti-Trump protest take place next week in Tacoma?
Hundreds of protests are scheduled across the country on June 14 to coincide with a pricey military parade in Washington, D.C. The 'No Kings Day' protests will take place on President Donald Trump's birthday as he throws a military parade with an estimated cost of $25 million to $40 million, according to Politico. The protests against Trump are part of a national movement that has been gathering steam since his Jan. 20 inauguration. 'This is bigger than political disagreement,' notes a statement by organizers on their No Kings toolkit page. 'They've defied our courts, deported American citizens, disappeared people off the streets, and slashed our services — all while orchestrating a massive giveaway to their billionaire allies.' The June 14 military parade has been framed as a celebration of the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary of its founding. It is also Trump's 79th birthday. A festival at the National Mall will follow. Flights into Washington, D.C. will be halted during the event, according to multiple media reports. There have been other events and celebrations for the Army so far this year, but nothing is advertised beyond June 14. Reactions to the parade have been mixed, with some criticizing the optics, given the timing with Trump's birthday. 'Prior presidents have used military regalia to celebrate or mark other moments,' noted historian Joshua Zeitz, contributing editor at Politico Magazine in an interview with NPR. 'There are obviously military ceremonies that happen, for instance, at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day. There's a military presence at inaugurations. But that's very different from what we're doing here. This is something that you would expect to see in countries like North Korea or the old Soviet Union or today's Russia.' The 'No Kings' event on June 14 is a direct response to the parade in D.C. Organized by organizations Indivisible, 50501 and Stand Up America, there are about 1,500 protest rallies planned across the United States. 'Join us to reject Trump's authoritarian vision and to show the wanna-be king what democracy looks like,' note Indivisible organizers on their website. There is no telling how many people will attend, but similar anti-Trump protests on April 19 under the 5051 banner drew 3 million people by Newsweek's estimate. Washington state has over six dozen No Kings protests scheduled for June 14. You can search locations in this interactive map. Here are the protest locations in Tacoma and Pierce County: ▪ Tacoma No Kings protest at People's Park at 900 M.L.K. Jr. Way ▪ Tacoma No Kings protest at The Defiant Goldfish at 5310 N. Pearl St. ▪ Gig Harbor No Kings Protest at Point Fosdick Drive and Olympic Drive
