White House Under lock

White House Lockdown Lifted After Fence-jumper Captured

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.

Security at the White House continues to be questioned following several incidents.

White House Fence Jumper Got Much Farther Than Previously Disclosed

Surprise! It was revealed Monday that armed White House intruder Omar Gonzalez got a lot farther into America's first family's home than previously imagined. Not only that, but Secret Service officials also revealed Monday that a gunman firing two blocks away into the White House in 2011 actually hit a second floor window while President Obama's mother-in-law and youngest daughter were sitting there.
