Secret Service Detains Man After Attempt to Climb White House Fence with Trump Inside
A security alert was triggered at the White House on Thursday afternoon when a man tried to scale the perimeter fence near the Treasury Building. According to a Secret Service spokesperson, he jumped over a construction bollard and was intercepted almost instantly at a pedestrian gate. During the altercation, one officer suffered a non-life-threatening laceration. Both the suspect and the injured officer were taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation. The incident comes shortly after reports of overnight gunfire near Lafayette Park, though no one was hurt and no suspect was found at that time.
