U.S. Secret Service said Sunday that an armed man was shot and killed after entering the secure perimeter of Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s resort in Palm Beach, Florida  Although Trump often spends weekends at his resort, he was at the White House this weekend. 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.

A man convicted of trying to assassinate President Donald Trump on a Florida golf course in 2024 has been sentenced to life in prison. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon pronounced Ryan Routh’s fate on Wednesday in the same Fort Pierce courtroom that erupted into chaos in September when Routh tried to stab himself shortly after jurors found him guilty of trying to kill a presidential candidate and other charges. Prosecutors asked for life without parole, saying Routh is unrepentant and has never apologized. A defense attorney brought in for his sentencing asked for 27 years, noting that Routh is already turning 60.

A federal judge says federal prosecutors can’t seek the death penalty against Luigi Mangione in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Judge Margaret Garnett's Friday ruling foiled the Trump administration’s bid to see Mangione executed. Garnett dismissed a federal murder charge against Mangione, finding it technically flawed. She left in place stalking charges that could carry a life sentence. In a win for prosecutors, Garnett also ruled prosecutors can use evidence collected from his backpack during his arrest, including a 9 mm handgun and a notebook in which authorities say Mangione described his intent to “wack” an insurance executive. At a hearing Friday, Garnett says a trial will start Sept. 8 unless the government appeals.
