UPDATE: 4:34 p.m.:
A lockdown Tuesday afternoon at the White House prompted by a fence jumper was lifted after about 20 minutes, NBC News reported.
A pool reporter first said the White House was under a possible lockdown after he tried to exit the Brady Briefing Room and Secret Service told him to remain inside. The pool report said the White House didn’t offer any immediate details.
The NBC affiliate in Washington reported that a man jumped a fence at the White House complex and that the jumper was in custody of the Secret Service, citing a spokesman for D.C. Fire and EMS.
The White House was briefly put on lockdown in March after a man entered the U.S. Capitol armed with a gun. The White House was also put on lockdown for about an hour in September after an “unattended package” was found in a nearby park.
Omar Gonzalez was carrying a knife when he jumped over the fence in 2014 and made it deep into the White House.
How very nice to know this!
Squirrels in the attic once again?
Ohhhhhh…
another fence jumper!
Maybe it’s just that one reporter. Trying to sneak out with a teaspoon?
just a dry run on the off chance Donnie Dimwit actually wins in November…
I wouldn’t be so quick to make light of things like this. This President has received more death threats than all Presidents combined. Don’t think anyone who posts her regularly needs to be told about how lots of people in this country feel about him. Donald Trump has contributed his share of garbage to stir up the nut cases.
The lock down lasted less than 30 minutes after some clown jumped the fence. I would rather post here than on the hate Bernie/hate Hillary thread. Watching the Democratic party tear itself apart isn’t fun.
