Austin Tucker Martin Reportedly Approaches Mar-A-Lago With Gas Can & Shotgun
The man, identified as 21-year-old Austin Tucker Martin from North Carolina, reportedly had a gas can and a shotgun when he approached the north gate of Mar-a-Lago around 1:30 a.m. Authorities say Martin had been reported missing by his family days earlier and allegedly acquired the shotgun along the way. A weapon box was later found in his vehicle, signaling the potential for serious danger.
Security Opens Fire After Martin Ignores Orders
According to Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, Martin ignored orders to drop his weapons and raised the shotgun into a shooting position, prompting the agents and deputy to open fire and neutralize the threat. Trump and First Lady Melania were safely at the White House when the incident occurred, while the FBI is now asking nearby residents to check security cameras for additional footage to assist with the investigation. Investigators are compiling a psychological profile of Martin, though his exact motive remains unclear. Authorities also confirmed that he was not previously known to law enforcement.
