The Secret Service said the man was seen near the resort's north gate carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel container, triggering an immediate armed response from security personnel.
A white man in his early 20s was shot and killed by US Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy after entering a restricted security zone at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida early Sunday, authorities said.
The US President was in Washington at the time and no protectees were present at the property during the incident, the Secret Service said.
The agency said 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 around the resort.
"The individual was observed by the north gate of the Mar-a-Lago property carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can," the Secret Service said in a statement.
Agents and a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office deputy confronted him inside the restricted zone and opened fire during the encounter. The man was pronounced dead at the scene. His identity has not been released pending notification of relatives.
No Secret Service or sheriff’s personnel were injured.
