The suspect allegedly entered through the north gate of Mar-a-Lago just as another vehicle was leaving. However, he was caught almost immediately. The security forces confronted him and ordered him to put down his weapon and the jerry can. “The suspect did place the jerry can on the ground, but brought his weapon into a firing position,” Bradshaw said. “At that point, the three officers fired their weapons and neutralized the threat. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.”

A photo of the shotgun and the gasoline can was shown at a press conference. Local residents were asked to hand over camera images showing anything suspicious to the police.

Neither US President Donald Trump nor other proteges of the US security services were present at the estate at the time of the incident. President Trump currently resides in Washington. “No one from law enforcement was injured,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi wrote on X.

Reported missing

The identity of the man has not yet been revealed, although according to Guglielmi he is someone in his early twenties from the American state of North Carolina. He was reported missing by his family for a few days. “His background, actions and possible motive are now under investigation,” Guglielmi said. It is currently unclear exactly how many shots were fired.
