Jonathan Oddi, 42, was taken to the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds to his legs after a shootout with Miami-Dade police at a Trump-owned golf course.
Oddi snuck into the resort through a back entrance sometime around 1:30 AM ET, carrying with him an American flag he lifted from the back of the complex.
Once inside, Oddi reportedly draped the flag over the counter in the lobby and then yelled sorts of anti-Trump sentiments before pointing a gun at onlookers and shooting up the lobby roof and chandeliers.
Authorities say Oddi presumably tried to lure police officers into a shootout.
