Security personnel temporarily locked down the White House complex after the US Secret Service detained two individuals in nearby Lafayette Park. According to reports, one suspect drove a vehicle onto a sidewalk adjacent to the grounds, while a second individual attempted to breach a security barricade within the park.
US President Donald Trump was inside the executive mansion at the time of the incidents. Authorities restricted entry and exit at the White House as a precautionary measure before lifting the lockdown once the area was secured.
