WASHINGTON (AP) — Part of the
White House has been evacuated after someone jumped the fence at the executive
mansion.
The incident occurred Friday
evening shortly after President Barack Obama and his daughters left aboard a
helicopter for the presidential retreat in Maryland, Camp David. A Secret
Service agent at the scene says someone jumped the fence surrounding the White
House. Much of the West Wing was evacuated.
Last week, on the anniversary of
the Sept. 11 attacks, the Secret Service apprehended a man who jumped over the
North Fence of the White House. Officers drew their firearms and used a service
dog as they took the man in custody.
