Mar-a-Lago shooting: Man shot dead by U.S. Secret Service at Donald Trump's Florida, West Palm Beach resort

U.S. ​Secret Service said on Sunday ‌its ⁠agents ⁠shot ​and killed a ​man in his ​20s ⁠after he tried ‌to ​unlawfully ​enter ⁠a secure perimeter ​at President Donald ​Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in ‌West Palm Beach, ​Florida. President Trump ​is ⁠currently in Washington.

The U.S. Secret Service announced Sunday that an armed man was shot and killed after entering the secure perimeter of Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

Although Trump often spends weekends at his resort, he was at the White House during this incident. First lady Melania Trump was also with the president at the White House on Saturday night.


The name of the person who was shot has not been released. According to the Secret Service, he was “observed by the north gate of the Mar-a-Lago property carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can.”

He was shot by Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County sheriff deputy, the agency said.

Trump has faced threats to his life before. He was wounded during an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler,

Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024.

Then on September 15, 2024, a man with a rifle was captured after waiting near Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach while the president played a round. He was sentenced to life in prison earlier this month.
