Overview
- The intrusion occurred around 1:30 a.m. at the north gate as another vehicle was leaving, authorities said.
- Two Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County deputy fired after the man dropped a fuel can and lifted a shotgun into a firing position.
- No law-enforcement personnel were injured, and the involved agents will be placed on administrative leave per agency policy.
- President Trump and first lady Melania Trump were in Washington at the time of the shooting, not at Mar-a-Lago.
- Investigators are tracking the suspect’s travel from North Carolina, a recent missing-person report and a gun box found in his vehicle, with media identifying him as 21-year-old Austin T. Martin.
