For the second time in a month, a man has jumped the White House fence, but this time the intruder was subdued Wednesday evening by the Secret Service, according to witnesses and media reports.
Officers with the help of dogs apprehended the man on the north lawn, an Al Jazeera America cameraman reported.
The White House has been locked down.
On Sept. 19, Omar Gonzalez, a 42-year-old Army vet who is unemployed and homeless, bolted across the lawn and into the White House before before being apprehended. He had g a 3½-inch folding, serrated knife in his pants and more than 800 rounds of ammunition, two hatchets and a machete in his car.
The unprecedented security breach led to congressional hearings and the resignation of Julia Pierson as Secret Service director.
