US: Suspect Identified in Mar-a-Lago Incident

A 21-year-old from North Carolina, Austin Tucker Martin, has been identified as the man who attempted to breach security at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. Martin had been reported missing in recent days.

Secret Service agents and police officers shot and killed him when he was located at the north gate of Trump's residence. According to the Secret Service, Martin was carrying what appeared to be a rifle and a fuel container.

White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt stated that the Secret Service "acted quickly and decisively." The FBI has taken over the investigation.

Palm Beach Sheriff Ric Bradshaw stated that Martin raised the weapon in a firing position after warnings to drop it.

Donald Trump was at the White House in Washington during the incident.
