An armed man was shot and killed by the Secret Service in the early hours of the morning after unlawfully entering the secure perimeter at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
The man, in his early 20s, was holding what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can as he tried to enter Trump’s Palm Beach residence, the Secret Service said.
He was neutralized by a deputy from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office around 1.30am on Sunday.
The deceased man’s identity has not been released.
President Trump had been attending the Governors Dinner in Washington DC on Saturday night. It’s understood that Trump stayed in the capital overnight and was not in Florida when the armed suspect approached Mar-a-Lago.
