Panic As Unknown Man Invades White House



The man who was carrying a backpack  was arrested by a Secret Service officer on the south entrance to the grounds, CNN reports.
President Donald Trump was in the White House at the time of the incident just before midnight on Friday.
Security was raised to level “orange”, one of the highest levels of the Secret Service.
Mr Trump was told about the situation and remained in Washington last night.
Secret Security claim there was no threat to the president.
The suspect has been taken into custody and is being questioned.
He may have entered the White House grounds by scaling the southern fence, a source told CNN.
The backpack was searched by security.
Although White House security breaches are not common, there have been several over the last few years.
In 2014, Omar Gonzales, made it into the White House building with a three-and-a-half-inch knife, the Secret Service said.
The 42-year-old man from Copperas Cove in Texas was arrested by security.
