A van rammed into the White House gate this morning and the driver is now in custody. Nothing is really known about the driver yet, but I’m sure the assumption is that it’s a leftist loon with TDS.
Here’s the news via Fox DC:
A Secret Service investigation is underway near the White House after officials say a vehicle drove through a barricade early Wednesday morning.
The Metropolitan police and Secret Service responded to the vicinity of the White House around 6:30 a.m. after a vehicle drove through a temporary security barrier near Madison and H streets.
The driver of the suspicious vehicle was apprehended and is being questioned, according to police.
FOX 5’s Melanie Alnwick was live on the scene where the metal barricade could be seen mangled on the ground, while the suspected vehicle remained parked nearby.
No injuries have been reported, and the scene has been declared safe by the Metropolitan Police Department’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal.
Several roads and entrances were closed as the scene was investigated, but all closures have been lifted.
We’ll let you know when we learn more about this and the suspect.
