The White House was evacuated Friday after a man jumped over a fence and bolted toward the executive mansion — just minutes after President Barack Obama and his daughters had left, according to the Secret Service. Omar J. Gonzalez, 42, was apprehended by officers inside the North Portico doors of the White House, then arrested and transported to George Washington hospital for medical evaluation, the Secret Service said. The incident was under investigation, and the Secret Service said it "will review the response to ensure that proper protocol is followed."
