An armed man was shot and killed by law enforcement agents in the early hours of Sunday, Feb. 22 after allegedly breaching a secure perimeter at Mar-a-Lago, according to U.S. Secret Service.
The man was seen by the north gate of the Mar-a-Lago property carrying what the Secret Service said in a news release on social media "appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can."
Authorities said Secret Service agents and a local Palm Beach County officer confronted the man before law enforcement fatally shot him. No agents were injured in the incident. Nobody who receives protection from the Secret Service was present at the time of the shooting, Secret Service communication chief Anthony Guglielmi said in the release.
President Donald Trump is at the White House, according to his official schedule.
The identity of the man, described as being in his early 20s in a news release from the Secret Service, has not yet been released. Officials said the FBI, Secret Service and the Palm Beach Country Sheriff's Office are investigating the incident.
