The United States Secret Service (SS) said on the 22nd (local time) that a man in his 20s armed with a weapon who illegally broke into the secure area of Mar-a-Lago, a Florida resort where U.S. President Donald Trump's residence is located, was shot dead.
SS said that a man in his early 20s who trespassed into the Mar-a-Lago secure area that day was pronounced dead after being shot by Secret Service agents and deputy sheriffs from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office in Florida. President Trump often goes down to spend time at his Mar-a-Lago residence on weekends. According to Reuters and others, President Trump is currently staying in Washington, D.C., and the incident is said to have no effect on him.
SS is the agency responsible for protecting President Trump. In a statement that day, SS said, "The individual was seen at the north entrance to the Mar-a-Lago grounds carrying an object that appeared to be a shotgun and fuel containers," and added, "There was gunfire by law enforcement. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and others are investigating the entire incident, including potential motive and the appropriateness of the use of force."
