Donald Trump's former campaign manager Brad Parscale has reportedly barricaded himself inside his Fort Lauderdale home with a gun. The president announced in July he was replacing Parscale with longtime political aide Bill Stepien.
Police were called after Parscale, 44, threatened to harm himself Sunday afternoon, Local 10 reports. It is understood his wife Candice made the 911 call.
Fort Lauderdale Police Chief Karen Dietrich told The Sun Sentinel: 'We went out and it was very short. We went and got him help.'
It is understood Parscale has since been taken to Broward Health Medical Center under the Baker Act. That allows families to provide mental health services and temporary detention for people who are impaired because of their mental illness.
