Feb. 22 (UPI) -- The U.S. Secret Service early Sunday morning shot a man who was trying to access President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort while appearing to carry a shotgun and a gas can.
The individual, a man in his early 20s, attempted to access the property from its north gate and entered the secure perimeter before he was shot and killed, the Secret Service said in a post on X.
Although Trump often spends the weekend at his West Palm Beach, Florida, resort, he is in Washington, D.C., this weekend and, according to officials, no other protectees were at the property, either.
"U.S. Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office deputy confronted the individual and shots were fired by law enforcement during the encounter," Anthony Guglielmi, communications chief for the Secret Service, said in the post.
