Washington (CNN) Nobody was injured when authorities fired gunshots at a woman who breached two security checkpoints with her SUV on the outer perimeter of President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago retreat, the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office said.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw confirmed during a Friday afternoon news conference that the suspect, Hannah Roemhild, breached the checkpoints, resulting in Secret Service and Palm Beach Sheriff Office deputies opening fire on the car.

Florida Highway Patrol pursued Roemhild late Friday afternoon after she was observed acting irrationally and standing on her SUV around a resort in Palm Beach. A trooper working a security detail at the hotel tried to stop her on foot when she began to drive off. The trooper smashed her window to try to get her to stop the vehicle, but she drove off.

The woman is alleged to have been driving on the wrong side of the road at more than 70 miles per hour and assaulted law enforcement officers with her vehicle when she approached the checkpoint barriers, which were being put in place ahead of Trump's arrival.

After driving off and breaching the checkpoints, authorities said Roemhild drove to a motel, where she was found by authorities.
