An armed intruder has been shot dead after illegally entering President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida early Sunday morning, the US Secret Service has said.
The unidentified man in his early 20s was carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can at the north gate of the West Palm Beach property at around 1:30 a.m. Sunday and was shot dead by Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy, according to a statement put out on social media.
He was confronted after he entered the secure perimeter at the property before he was shot.
President Trump was not at Mar-a-Lago at the time; he is at the White House.
