TL;DR Summary

A man in his 20s was shot and killed by US Secret Service agents after approaching the inner perimeter of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. He was found with a petrol canister and a shotgun; he dropped the can and raised the weapon before agents opened fire. Trump was not at the property; two agencies—the Secret Service and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office—were involved, with officers wearing body cameras. No law enforcement officers were injured, but the suspect’s identity and motive remain unknown as FBI investigators collect evidence and review security footage. A briefing is ongoing.
