Armed man shot and killed after entering perimeter around Trump's Florida home

Armed man shot and killed after entering perimeter around Trump’s Florida home

https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/22/politics/mar-a-lago-man-shot-armed

US Secret Service agents and Palm Beach County law enforcement shot and killed an armed man after he unlawfully entered the secure perimeter at Mar-a-Lago Sunday morning, the Secret Service said.

The president and first lady were at the White House in Washington, DC, at the time of the incident.

A White man in his early 20s entered the secure perimeter at Mar-a-Lago around 1:30 a.m. before he was shot by agents and a deputy with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, authorities said. The man appeared to be carrying a shotgun and a fuel can, Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said at a news conference Sunday.

The man entered Mar-a-Lago through the north gate as an employee was walking out. He made it about 20 or 30 yards inside the gate before he was confronted by law enforcement, officials said.

the intruder was ordered to stop and put down the gun. The guy raised it instead into a shooting position so security shot and killed him.

How much can we believe from an official of the dictator's regime? Probably some of it is true.

According to Anthony Guglielmi, the Secret Service’s Chief of Communications, the suspect was in his early 20s and from North Carolina. He was reported missing a few days ago by his family.

Guglielmi said that investigators believe the man picked up a shotgun on the way to Florida. Law enforcement recovered a box for the gun in the suspect’s vehicle.
