In a dramatic turn of events, an armed individual was fatally shot after he illegally breached the Mar-a-Lago estate, President Trump’s residence in Florida, early Sunday morning, according to the US Secret Service.
The man, described as being in his early 20s and yet to be identified, reportedly approached the north gate of the West Palm Beach property at approximately 1:30 a.m. He was armed with what appeared to be a shotgun and carried a fuel can. Secret Service agents, along with a deputy from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, responded by shooting the intruder, as detailed in a statement released on social media.
A news briefing is scheduled for Sunday morning, where the FBI and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) are expected to provide additional information on the incident.
