It’s being reported this morning that a man armed with a shotgun and a fuel can was killed by Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County deputy sheriff after breaching Mar-a-Lago this morning.
Here’s more from Fox News:
A man in his early 20s was shot and killed early Sunday after allegedly breaching the secure perimeter of President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, FLorida, the U.S. Secret Service announced.
The Secret Service said the incident occurred around 1:30 a.m. when the suspect made an “unauthorized entry” at the property.
The individual was observed near the north gate carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can.
Agents and a deputy from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office confronted the man who was pronounced dead at the scene.
No Secret Service or Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office personnel were injured, and no Secret Service protectees were present at the property at the time, officials said.
I don’t know whether the man knew it or not, but Trump isn’t even there. His schedule shows him at the White House this weekend.
UPDATE: Here’s the full statement by the Secret Service:
