A man jumped over the fence of the White House on Friday and made it through the front door before officers managed to apprehend him, just minutes after President Barack Obama had departed, the Secret Service said.
The intruder sprinted toward the White House after leaping over the fence and ignored commands from officers to stop, Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said. He was ultimately apprehended just inside the North Portico doors, the grand, columned entrance that looks out over Pennsylvania Ave.
Donovan said the man appeared to be unarmed to officers who spotted him jumping the fence, and a search of the suspect turned up no weapons. The suspect, identified as Omar J. Gonzalez, 42, of Copperas Cove, Texas, was placed under arrest and transported to nearby George Washington University Hospital after complaining of chest pain.
Although it's not uncommon for people to hop the White House fence, they're typically apprehended before they can get very far. Friday's incident was likely to prompt a renewed look at security procedures at one of the most highly protected buildings in the world.

That’s great!
Had to get a tissue, after I snorted. ..
LOL!
Is Omar one of those converts or one of those muslims who have changed their names to hispanic sounding names down there in TX.
Or perhaps Mr. Gonzalez is has a two-fer special rights consideration — a Muslim Mexican.
ISIS is taking notes, getting into the White House is super easy
Did he shout "Allahu es magnífico"?
Well Crappy Nappy as she was known here, (Janet Napalitano) as our Arizona Governor, in her argument against the fence, said show me a 20’ fence, I will show you a 25’ ladder, so... yeah, no guarantee, just a deterrant.
Seems to me they tend to dig tunnels under them though, also saw a border special on tv, where they are hinging the metal fencing so it pivots open as they drive through and then shuts to appear still in tact.
Good thing this guy was not a suicide bomber though, Even if nobody else was around, could have caused alot of damage inside the front doors... Dry run maybe??
>> No. This article isnt over 5 years old.
Funny!
Don’t be too critical of the fellow - he may have just showed up to do a job Kenyans are unwilling to do.
Ya think?
Funny, I thought from the title it was an analysis of the Kenyan clownshow’s white hut residency.
Jokes aside, this serves as a probe of the security perimeter. The next one wears a suicide vest with radium-laced HE.
OMAR Gonzalez??? OMG!!! OMAR...Muslim Mexican??
Does Reggie Love have an alias?
