According to reports circulating on X, including from @X22Report , the individual approached the entrance armed with a shotgun and carrying a gas can.
He was killed at the scene during the encounter.
No official confirmation of the suspect's identity, motive, or full circumstances has been released yet by the U.S. Secret Service, FBI, or Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
A joint press briefing involving these agencies was scheduled for this morning to address the overnight investigation at the property.
President Trump was not present—he was in Washington, D.C., last night.
Details remain limited and emerging; this appears to stem from unverified social media posts so far, with mainstream coverage focused on the pending briefing rather than specifics of a shooting. Authorities have described it as an active investigation—avoid the area if nearby.
Stay tuned for official updates .... https://x.com/NewsBlast17/status/2025566285229146378?s=20
Another trans person I imagine.
Came here to say this, you beat me to it. I'm ok with that as long as I'm not late to dinner.
They are needing distractions and a change of the news cycle
