US Secret Service agents shot and killed a man in his early 20s who unlawfully entered the restricted area around President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Sunday, February 22. The incident occurred early in the morning, with the Secret Service and Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office responding. Trump was in Washington at the time, and no protectees were present at the property.
The man approached the north gate of the West Palm Beach estate carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can before moving into the protected perimeter. Agents and a Palm Beach County deputy confronted him inside the restricted zone and opened fire. He was pronounced dead at the scene. His identity has not been released pending family notification.
No Secret Service or sheriff’s personnel were injured. The FBI, Secret Service, and Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the man’s background, actions, and possible motive.
