Armed man shot and killed after entering secure perimeter of Mar-a-Lago, Secret Service says

An armed man was shot and killed by law enforcement after breaching the secure perimeter of Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, early Sunday morning. The man, in his early 20s from North Carolina, drove onto the property around 1:30 a.m. as another vehicle was exiting. He was carrying a gas can and a shotgun, the box for which was found in his vehicle. The man had been reported missing a few days prior, and investigators believe he acquired the shotgun en route to Florida. After entering near the north gate, he was confronted by Secret Service agents and a sheriff's deputy, who opened fire when he raised the shotgun in a shooting position after being ordered to drop his weapons. At the time of the incident, former President Trump and his wife were at the White House.
