A man was arrested for jumping into presidential residence.
White House is in panic as the intruder, identified as Omar Gonzalez, reportedly made it into the building before he was captured.
President Barack Obama and his family were not in the residence as they had supposedly departed minutes earlier for Camp David, the presidential weekend retreat.
Brian Leary, the Secret Service spokesman,said that the 42 year old man is from Texas and he was unarmed.
Brian Leary,narrated...
"It appeared to responding officers that he was unarmed, which turned out to be true,"
"Gonzalez ignored the commands of those officers to stop and ultimately was apprehended by officers just inside the North Portico doors of the White House."
"Any time someone jumps the fence, there is a security breach and the Secret Service has to balance security with access and reasonableness,Gonzalez was suffering from chest pains and had been taken to George Washington Hospital for a medical evaluation",Brain Leary said.
