WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 (Xinhua) — A man was shot dead by the U.S. Secret Service and local police in the early hours of Sunday after attempting to break into the gated community of U.S. President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida.
“On February 22, at approximately 1:30 a.m., a man between the ages of 20 and 24 was shot and killed by U.S. Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Deputy after attempting to breach the secure perimeter at Mar-a-Lago,” the Secret Service said in a statement.
"This individual, whose identity is being withheld pending notification of next of kin, has been declared deceased. He was seen near the north gate of the Mar-a-Lago estate carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can," the department clarified.
D. Trump is currently in Washington, D.C. No one under Secret Service protection was on the estate at the time of the incident.
U.S. Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy attempted to stop the man and fired shots during the confrontation. No Secret Service or local police officers were injured.
Details of the incident, including the man's background, his actions, possible motive, and the use of force by law enforcement, are currently under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Secret Service, and the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
Earlier in September 2024, Ryan Wesley Routh attempted to assassinate Donald Trump, then a presidential candidate, at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. The golf club is located just a few miles from Mar-a-Lago.
