A man reportedly tried to jump the fence at a White House entrance gate Thursday afternoon.
He was swiftly tackled by Secret Service agents, with one suspect now in custody, and reports of minor injuries to at least one person involved.
Freelance D.C. media reporter Andrew Leyden (@PenguinSix) was first to break the developing story on X, posting: “Man tries to jump fence at White House entrance gate. Tackled by Secret Service. One in custody. One person minor injuries.”
Leyden included photos showing the chaotic scene unfolding right at the gates of the People’s House.
As of this writing, there is still ZERO information being released about the intruder’s identity, background, motive, or whether this was a lone wolf, a radical activist, or something far more sinister.
Just last month, The Gateway Pundit reported on a van smashing into White House security barricades.
In February, we broke the story of an armed intruder shot dead after breaching President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago perimeter.
Authorities say the individual, who was from North Carolina, had been reported missing by family members several days prior. Investigators believe he traveled south and obtained the shotgun during the trip.
The Gateway Pundit has reached out to the Secret Service for a comment. This is a developing story, and we will continue to provide updates as new information becomes available.
