The US secret service on Sunday said an armed man was shot and killed after entering the secure perimeter of Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s private resort in Palm Beach, Florida, AP reported. According to the secret service, the intruder 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’s deputy. The identity of the person has not been released. Trump and first lady Melania Trump were at the White House during the incident. The secret service noted that Trump has faced previous threats. On July 13, 2024, he was wounded in an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. On September 15, 2024, a man with a rifle was apprehended near Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course while the president played a round; that individual was sentenced to life in prison earlier this month.
