An armed man was shot and killed by U.S. Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputy after unlawfully entering the secured grounds of President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, according to federal and local officials. President Trump was in Washington, D.C., at the time of the incident.

Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi said the individual, identified by The Associated Press as Austin Tucker Martin, 21, of North Carolina, was detected near the north gate carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can. Authorities said he drove through the gate as another vehicle exited the property, gaining access to the inner perimeter before being confronted.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric L. Bradshaw stated during a Sunday press conference that two Secret Service agents and one deputy ordered the suspect to drop his weapons. The man put down the gas can but raised the shotgun into a firing position, prompting law enforcement officers to discharge their firearms. He was pronounced dead at the scene. No agents or deputies were injured.

Investigators believe the suspect had recently left North Carolina after being reported missing by family members. Officials said the box for the shotgun was recovered from his vehicle, and authorities are working to establish a motive and develop a psychological profile.

The FBI is leading the investigation, with assistance from the Secret Service and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. Agents involved in the shooting have been placed on routine administrative leave, and federal officials have asked nearby residents to review security camera footage for any relevant information.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement that law enforcement acted “quickly and decisively” to neutralize the threat and emphasized ongoing federal efforts to protect the president and the public.
