The US Secret Service announced on Sunday morning that an armed man was shot and killed after entering the secure perimeter of Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump\u2019s Florida residence and private club in Palm Beach.<\/p>\n
Although the US president often spends weekends at the ocean resort, he was at the White House in Washington during this incident, <\/strong>as was first lady Melania Trump.<\/p>\n The identity of the man who was shot has not been released. According to the Secret Service, he was \u201cobserved by the north gate of the Mar-a-Lago property carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can\u201d.<\/p>\n The suspect was in his early 20s and from North Carolina, according to investigators. He was reported missing a few days ago by his family.<\/p>\n Investigators believe he left North Carolina and headed south, picking up a shotgun along the way, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.<\/p>\n The box for the gun was recovered in his vehicle, Guglielmi said. The man drove through the north gate of Mar-a-Lago as another vehicle was exiting, and he was confronted by Secret Service agents and was fatally shot.<\/p>\n Investigators are now working to compile a psychological profile and uncover a motive. In July, 2024, Trump was wounded<\/a> during an assassination attempt<\/a> as he spoke at a rally for supporters in Butler, Pennsylvania, during the presidential election campaign. A bullet grazed his ear<\/a> and some spectators were killed. Then on September 15 of the same year a man with a rifle<\/a> was captured after waiting near Trump\u2019s golf course in West Palm Beach while the president played a round. He appeared to be pointing the weapon through a perimeter fence. He was sentenced<\/a> to life in prison earlier this month.<\/p>\n The White House did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n #Armed #man #shot #killed #entering #Trumps #MaraLago #residence #Secret #Service #Donald #Trump<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The US Secret Service announce… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24131,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24130"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24130"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24130\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/24131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
