Washington: The US Secret ⁠Service said on Sunday its agents shot ⁠and killed a man ‌in his ​20s after he tried to unlawfully enter a secure perimeter at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in West ​Palm Beach, ⁠Florida.

Trump is currently in Washington. The man was carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and ⁠a ‌fuel can, the agency said, adding that he was observed ‌at the resort's north gate around 1:30 ⁠am EST.

The suspect's intentions at the resort ‌are unclear.

The White House ‌did not immediately respond to ‌a request for comment.

The United ‌States is facing a spike in political violence . In 2024, Trump faced two assassination attempts ⁠including ⁠one at his golf course in West Palm Beach.

Melissa Hortman, a Democratic state lawmaker in Minnesota, was shot and killed in June 2025 along with her husband. ​Months later, conservative activist Charlie Kirk was also assassinated.
