FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Florida police say three teenagers fleeing officers while carrying a semiautomatic gun inadvertently jumped a wall at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.
Palm Beach police say the 15-year-olds probably didn't know where they were after scaling the wall Friday. He says they're lucky they didn't get shot by Secret Service agents.
Neither the president nor a family member was at the club, which is closed for the summer.
The three teens had been sitting in their car 2 miles north of Mar-a-Lago and sped off when an officer approached. They later stopped and tried to run away, jumping over a wall into the club.
WPEC-TV reported a K-9 found an AK-47 in the backpack, but no one has claimed ownership of the weapon.
The three are being held on felony charges.
