An armed individual was shot and killed early Sunday morning by U.S. Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy after unlawfully entering the secure perimeter of President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The incident occurred at about 1:30 a.m. Sunday, when the man was seen near the north gate of the Mar-a-Lago property carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can.
Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy confronted the man, and he was fatally shot during the encounter.
Authorities have not yet released the identity of the man, and details about his motive remain under investigation.
President Trump was not at Mar-a-Lago at the time; he was in Washington, D.C., according to officials.
The U.S. Secret Service confirmed the shooting in a statement, noting the individual was killed after illegally breaching the secure perimeter of the property.
A joint news briefing by the Secret Service, FBI, and Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office is expected to provide additional details later Sunday.
