White House intruder was carrying a knife, court document says

Published September 20, 2014

The White House intruder who jumped a security fence on Friday and got inside the presidential mansion was carrying a knife, according to the criminal complaint obtained by Fox News and contrary to initial reports that the man was unarmed.

According to the complaint filed in federal court, 42-year-old Omar J. Gonzales, of Copperas Cove, Texas, had a concealed black folding knife when Secret Service agents apprehended him inside the north White House door that faces Pennsylvania Avenue.

After he was arrested, he told a Secret Service agent that "he was concerned the atmosphere was collapsing and needed to get the information to the President of the United States so he could get the word out to the people," the document says.

I’m trying to find a video of a fence jumper a several years ago. He obviously new karate and had a long pole and he held off multiple secret service agents for quite a while. He was formidable and it was surprising he wasn’t shot.
Anyone here know of a source for the video? — it was used for Secret Service training purposes from what I heard.

3 1/2 serrated. Ouch, especially if dragged down after stabbing. Should be termed a “deadly weapon” kinda like an “assault” weapon.

"Intruder" seems so harsh.

This fellow is an "undocumented WH visitor."
