Armed man is shot and killed by Secret Service after entering Mar-a-Lago in middle of the night | 22 Feb 2026 | An armed man was shot and killed by the Secret Service in the early hours of the morning after unlawfully entering the secure perimeter at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago in Florida. Austin Tucker Martin, 21, was holding a shotgun and a fuel can as he tried to enter Trump’s Palm Beach residence near the north side around 1.30am on Sunday, the Secret Service said. President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were in Washington, D.C., last night attending the Governors’ Dinner. Two Secret Service agents and one deputy from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office ordered him to drop his weapons. The suspect, who investigators say is from North Carolina and traveled 700 miles by car to Florida, was reported missing by his family a few days ago.
