The United States Secret Service confirmed early Sunday morning that agents shot and killed a man armed with what appeared to be a shotgun after he allegedly tried to break into President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in the middle of the night. According to officials, the incident happened around 1:30 a.m. when agents, alongside a deputy from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, responded to an unauthorized breach near the north gate of the property. Authorities say the man, believed to be in his early 20s, was carrying what looked like a shotgun and a fuel can when he was confronted. Shots were fired during the encounter, and the suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities said no Secret Service protectees were on the property at the time of the shooting, meaning the agents assigned to protect the president and the first family were not present. The confirmation indicates President Trump was not at Mar-a-Lago when the suspect attempted to carry out his plot.No agents or deputies were injured during the incident. The shooting is now being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, along with the Secret Service and local authorities. As is standard procedure, the agents involved have been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. This is a breaking story.
