Man Killed After Entering Secure Perimeter of Trump's Mar-a-Lago Residence, Secret Service Says

Around 1.30am ET on Sunday, U.S. Secret Service agents shot Austin Tucker Martin, 21, after he breached Mar-a-Lago's perimeter, authorities said.
His family reported Martin missing early Sunday, and investigators say the motive remains undetermined as they assess conspiracy theories about the Epstein files.
A Palm Beach County deputy and two Secret Service agents confronted the intruder at Mar-a-Lago's north gate, ordering him to drop a gas can and shotgun before firing to neutralise the threat, Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said.
The FBI is leading the probe, asking local residents near Mar-a-Lago to check security cameras, while Secret Service Director Sean Curran travelled to Florida for after-actions.
The breach revived concerns after past assassination attempts on Trump during the 2024 campaign, including the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt in July 2024.
