First Picture Of Intruder Shot Dead At Trump’s Mar-A-Lago Home
Another apparent attempt on Trump’s life as an armed intruder was shot and killed by Secret Service agents after breaching the secure perimeter of the President’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Sunday.
The suspect has been identified as Austin Tucker Martin, 21, from North Carolina, who had been reported missing by his family days prior.
At approximately 1:30am on Sunday, Martin was spotted near the north gate of the property. He had gained entry as a guest was exiting – classic hitman move.
He had a shotgun and a fuel can with him.
Turns out Trump wasn’t even at Mar-A-Lago, and Martin ended up being fatally shot after pointing the shotgun at law enforcement officers.
Even though they’re usually at the resort on weekends, both Trump and Melania were at the White House in Washington DC at the time of the shooting, so were never in any danger.
Rick Bradshaw, sheriff of Palm Beach country, said: ‘At 1.30 this morning, the security detail detected that an individual had made his way into the inner perimeter of Mar-A-Lago.
‘A deputy and two Secret Service agents on the detail went to that area to investigate.
‘They confronted a white male that was carrying a gas can and a shotgun.

‘He was ordered to drop those two pieces of equipment that he had with them at which time he put down the gas can, raised the shotgun to a shooting position.
‘At that point in time, the deputy and the two Secret Service agents fired their weapons and neutralised the threat. He is deceased at the scene.’
Martin’s cousin described him as quiet, afraid of guns and from a family of avid Trump supporters.
His cousin Braeden Fields, 19, said: ‘He’s a good kid. I wouldn’t believe he would do something like this. It’s mind-blowing.
Trump has yet to common on the incident, but who cares? But we get the full Epstein files now?
