The man was possibly angered by the Epstein files, sources told ABC News. Investigators are trying to figure out a motive for why a 21-year-old man, allegedly armed with a gas can and a shotgun, breached the perimeter of President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort before being fatally shot by two U.S. Secret Service agents and a deputy sheriff. While he did not specifically address the shooting, Trump, the victim of two assassination attempts since July 2024, spoke out on Monday about "crazy shooters" and why they have possibly targeted him. "You know, you read about all these crazy shooters, but they only go after consequential presidents.
