wasn't there also someone who shot the WH? I think it was an accountant. I may be merging two incidents, one dcuring Clinton, and one during Bush.

"A middle-aged man fired several shots and waved a handgun at the White House in the US capital of Washington Wednesday before a Secret Service officer shot and wounded him."

Frank Eugene Corder, 38, a student pilot with a history of alcohol and drug abuse, stole the single-engine Cessna from an airfield north of Baltimore and died in the crash, officials said. Initial interviews with associates of Corder suggest the crash was intentional, federal officials said, but they said they did not believe it was politically motivated.

The following month, a man pulled a semiautomatic rifle from under his trench coat and sprayed the front of the White House with bullets. On Oct. 29, 1994, Francisco Martin Duran, a convicted felon, fired at least 29 shots as he ran down the south sidewalk of Pennsylvania Avenue. Duran was tackled by passersby and restrained by the Secret Service while trying to reload his weapon. No one was injured - and Mr. Clinton, in the White House at the time, was never in danger. The gunman was sentenced to 40 years in federal prison.
