The White House was under a lockdown on Thursday after one person successfully jumped the highly-guarded fence. Three hours later in the afternoon, the White House was given an all-clear call immediately after authorities caught the man who had climbed over North Lawns' fence. According to CBS News, despite the quick arrest, the White House was still on lockdown as the secret service performed a security sweep of the area.
