The U.S. ‌Secret ⁠Service said on Sunday ‌its ‌agents shot ‌and killed ‌a man in ⁠his ‌20s after he tried ‌to unlawfully ​enter a secure perimeter at President Donald Trump's ⁠Mar-a-Lago ⁠resort ⁠in West ​Palm ​Beach, ‌Florida.

Trump is ‌currently ⁠in Washington.

The man was carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can, the agency said, adding that he was observed at the resort's north gate around 1:30 a.m. EST (0630 GMT).

The suspect's intentions at the resort are unclear.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
