The name of the person who was shot has not been released. According to the Secret Service, he was "observed by the north gate of the Mar-a-Lago property carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can."

He was shot by Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County sheriff deputy, the agency said.

The White House did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
