A North Carolina man who was fatally shot early Sunday as he allegedly attempted to enter President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida was an avid supporter of the president, but was “fixated” on the Epstein files, those who knew him say.
Authorities have said that Austin Tucker Martin, 21, of Moore County, was armed with a shotgun and a gas canister when he encountered two Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy just inside Mar-a-Lago’s north gate around 1:30 a.m. The president and first lady were in Washington, D.C., at the time.
