US Secret Service kills armed man who attempted to break into Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate

Описание: An armed man has been shot and killed by US Secret Service agents after breaking into President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

An Associated Press report has identified the trespasser as 21-year-old Austin Tucker Martin.

Authorities confirmed the suspect had been reported missing by his family a few days ago.

He had been carrying a shotgun and a fuel can when he was confronted by law enforcement.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a post on X: “In the middle of the night while most Americans were asleep, the United States Secret Service acted quickly and decisively to neutralise a crazy person, armed with a gun and a gas canister, who intruded President Trump’s home.

“Federal law enforcement are working 24/7 to keep our country safe and protect all Americans. It’s shameful and reckless that Democrats have chosen to shut down their department.”
