Man fatally shot by law enforcement at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach

A man was shot and killed by law enforcement personnel at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., early Sunday morning.

Secret Service chief of communications Anthony Guglielmi said the man, in is early 20s, was killed after “unlawfully entering the secure perimeter” at the resort around 1:30 a.m. local time Sunday. Both Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office deputy responded to the incident, where shots were fired by law enforcement officials.

It is unclear whether a Secret Service agent or the local sheriff’s office deputy fatally shot the man.

The president is in Washington, D.C., and The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment. Trump often spends in his weekends at the Florida resort.

Guglielmi, in his Sunday statement, said that the man was seen by the north gate of the property “carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can.” The Secret Service spokesperson added that no law enforcement personnel were injured during the incident and that the agency is withholding the deceased man’s identity as officials look to notify his next of kin.

The fatal shooting is under investigation by the FBI, Secret Service and Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. Local officials and law enforcement personnel are expected to brief the press at 9:30 a.m. EST.

Secret Service agents involved in the incident have been placed on routine administrative leave, Guglielmi added.
