An armed man has been shot dead after entering the secure perimeter of US President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, the Secret Service has said.
The man was carrying a shotgun and fuel can when he was stopped and shot by Secret Service agents and a Sheriff's deputy, authorities said.
The incident happened around 01:30 ET (06:30 GMT) on Sunday morning, when the president was in Washington DC.
The suspect's identity has not been released yet but he was white and in his early 20s, officers said.
Secret Service agents fired at him after they saw him "unlawfully entering the secure perimeter at Mar-a-Lago early this morning", agency spokesman Anthony Guglielmi posted on X.
