This can’t be good for the security of the White House:
FOX NEWS – A two-foot “quadcopter” drone crashed onto the White House grounds overnight, the Secret Service said Monday — though the White House says the device posed no threat.
Brian Leary, a Secret Service spokesman, said an officer posted on the south grounds of the White House complex “heard and observed a ‘quadcopter’ device, approximately two feet in diameter, flying at a very low altitude and ultimately crashing on the southeast side of the complex” shortly after 3 a.m. ET.
“An investigation is underway to determine the origin of this commercially available device, motive, and to identify suspects,” Leary said.
The “device” was found while President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama were traveling in India. It was unclear whether their daughters, Sasha and Malia, were at home at the time of the incident with their grandmother, Marian Robinson, who also lives at the White House.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest, speaking in New Delhi, acknowledged a “device” was found.
“There is a device that has been recovered by the Secret Service at the White House,” Earnest said when asked if a drone was found. “The early indications are that it does not pose any sort of ongoing threat to anybody at the White House.”
