Armed man shot and killed after entering perimeter of Mar-a-Lago
A man has been shot dead by Secret Service agents after trying to unlawfully enter Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, authorities in the US have said.
The man was seen by the north gate of the Florida property at around 1.30am local time (6.30am UK time) on Sunday. He was carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can, officials added.
US media have identified the suspect as Austin Tucker Martin - a 21-year-old who was reported missing by his family a few days ago. Rick Bradshaw, the sheriff of Palm Beach County, said the man made it into Mar-a-Lago's inner perimeter.
He is believed to have driven through the north gate of the estate as another vehicle was exiting. The man raised his shotgun to a shooting position after being confronted by a deputy and two Secret Service agents, who then "fired their weapons and neutralised the threat.
