Armed man shot and killed after entering Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, Secret Service says

An armed man was fatally shot by Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy after entering the Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Florida, early Sunday morning. The man, in his early 20s and from North Carolina, drove through the north gate carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can. He was confronted after driving through the gate as another vehicle was exiting. Investigators believe he left North Carolina, where he was recently reported missing, and acquired the shotgun en route. Donald Trump was at the White House at the time of the incident. Authorities are working to determine the man's motive and develop a psychological profile. This incident follows previous security concerns at Trump properties, including a July 2024 assassination attempt and the arrest of a man with a rifle near a West Palm Beach golf course in September 2024.
