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.
