On Sunday, members of the US Secret Service killed an armed person (a “young man in his early twenties”) who “illegally entered the security zone at Mar-a-Lago,” President Donald Trump’s residence in Florida.
Trump was in Washington when the incident occurred, around 1:30 a.m. (6:30 GMT), according to what officials reported.
“A gunman was shot and killed by Secret Service agents after illegally entering the Mar-a-Lago security zone this morning,” spokesman Anthony Guglielmi wrote on the X platform.
The agency said in a statement, “The suspect was seen at the northern gate of the Mar-a-Lago resort carrying what appeared to be a hunting rifle and a can containing fuel.”
