Man Dead After Attempting to Enter Trump's Resort

A man armed with a rifle and a gasoline can illegally entered the security perimeter of Donald Trump's residence at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, and was shot and killed by US Secret Service agents. Trump was in Washington during the incident. According to the Secret Service, the man, approximately 20 years old, was spotted near the north entrance of the property with the weapon and the can. After a brief confrontation, agents fired and killed him. Initial reports mentioned a confrontation, but it was later clarified that agents asked the man to drop the items he was holding, and when he raised the weapon, they opened fire. The FBI has asked residents of the area to check security camera footage. Donald Trump has been the target of assassination attempts twice during his campaign, which has led to criticism of the Secret Service. The US has a high number of privately owned firearms, with one in three adults owning at least one gun. The incident highlights the issue of security for high-profile political figures and the ease of access to firearms in the US.
