WASHINGTON (AP) -- A man yelling "I'm a victim of terrorism" jumped a White House fence and ran across the North Lawn on Wednesday before being caught by Secret Service officers.
The man scaled a fence along Pennsylvania Avenue and ran about halfway across the North Lawn before he was surrounded by uniformed Secret Service officers and led away in handcuffs.
"He is in custody," said Charles Bopp, a spokesman for the Secret Service. "He was unarmed at the time. We are conducting an investigation."
A photographer for The Associated Press, who witnessed the incident shortly after 5 p.m. EST, said the man was shouting, "I'm a victim of terrorism and I need the president's help."

A clean high jump, or did he climb the fence. If he jumped, well, that is newsworthy.

Nice FN P 90 he's sporting...

I always thought that P90s looked like something that electricians use for bending conduit.

I don't remember hearing what nutcases who rushed the White House said during the Clinton administration.
