The U.S. Secret Service shot and killed an intruder attempting to breach the security perimeter of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. The incident occurred on Saturday, with the unidentified male suspect, described as being between 20 and 30 years old, approaching the entrance gate armed with a shotgun and a gasoline canister. Despite being ordered to drop his weapons, the suspect raised the shotgun to fire, prompting agents to return fire. Trump was not present at the time, as he was in Washington. This event follows a period of political violence in the U.S., including two assassination attempts on Trump in 2024. The Secret Service agents involved have been suspended pending an investigation, a standard procedure.
