Caption: Armed Man Shot Dead After Breaching Security at Mar-a-Lago. U.S. Secret Service agents and local deputies shot and killed an armed man early Sunday after he breached a secure perimeter at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. Authorities identified the suspect as 21-year-old Austin Tucker Martin from North Carolina. He was reportedly carrying a shotgun and a fuel can when he approached the resort’s north gate around 1:30 a.m. According to Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, officers ordered the man to drop the items. He put down the fuel can but raised the shotgun into a firing position, prompting law enforcement to open fire. He was pronounced dead at the scene. No officers were injured. United States Secret Service said President Donald Trump was in Washington at the time and not at the property. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has taken over the investigation. Officials say the motive remains unclear, as the country continues to grapple with heightened political violence. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
