U.S. Secret Service agents, in coordination with Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputies, shot and killed an armed man in his 20s early Sunday morning after he attempted to breach the secure perimeter at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
The incident occurred overnight, prompting an immediate response from law enforcement who issued commands for the suspect to stop before opening fire when he refused.
According to reports, the suspect was carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can during the attempted unauthorized entry.
President Trump was not present at the property at the time, as he was spending the weekend in Washington, D.C.
Authorities have confirmed there were no injuries to any protectees, agents, or officers involved, and there is no ongoing threat to the area.
