Just got back to my computer after the Mass. From what we heard here, the woman was Spanish. When she jumped the fence, she grabbed the Pope's chasuble, pulling him into a French cardinal, who was also knocked down, and who was taken to the hospital.

A note to whoever mentioned the Swiss Guards: they don't walk alongside the Pope in procession.

All I knew from where I was (behind the altar in the choir) was that something was amiss, because we heard the gasp/scream that suggested something bad had happened. When the Pope and other bishops came in, we assumed everything was alright.

Interesting times...
