Eyewitness News' political reporter Dave Evans says the first sign of something going on came when security around the president's visit got even tighter than usual.

He says authorities are looking for a 55-year-old man named Lawrence J. Ward in connection with the reported attempt on the president's life.

Ward is said to be driving a blue Toyota sedan with a New York license plate: BRF-6596.

Seventh Avenue is blocked off because of the incident.

We'll have the latest here as it's available and on Eyewitness News tonight.

Search of this guy shows nothing useful. Possible phone number, but I won't post that since it might be the wrong guy.
