Secret Service Manages to Stop Man Who Scaled White House Fence

KOSINSKI: “We’re just finding out those details at least about this latest fence jumper. He didn’t jump on this side of the White House in the front. It was around the backside, the south lawn. Able to get over the fence and was quickly apprehended by Secret Service. We don’t know any more about circumstances but he was carrying what was thought to be a suspicious package and that was later cleared. We know just from looking at the statistics that have come up in the past year because of fence jumper in September that made it across the lawn and into the White House that over the last five years there have been a dozen now people who have gotten over the high fence that immediately borders the White House grounds. Some 30 others who have made it over the lower temporary barriers. It seems obvious to say but this is why many members of congress and House Oversight Committee feel like at this point in time now with so many threats facing us and with ISIS that change is urgently needed to security around the White House. All of these incidents really almost all of them have proven to be people who were mentally ill, who were trying to make a point and trying to take a stand and harmless but of course the next one might not be.”
