An armed man was shot and killed around 1:30 a.m. Sunday after entering Mar-a-Lago’s secure perimeter, President Donald Trump’s resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
The Associated Press quoted the Secret Service saying the man, believed to be in his 20s, was “observed by the north gate of the Mar-a-Lago property carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can.”
The AP noted that the man was “shot by Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County sheriff deputy.”
The Daily Mail noted, “It’s understood that Trump stayed in the capital overnight and was not in Florida when the armed suspect approached Mar-a-Lago.”
No law enforcement personnel were injured in the incident.
