Woman with gun in White House scare

A WOMAN with a firearm in her hand was detained after a vehicle struck a barrier outside the White House.

No officials were injured in the incident on Friday and no shots were fired.

Officers arrested 35-year-old Jessica Ford from La Vergne, Tennessee.

In a statement the Secret Service said: “An individual driving a passenger vehicle struck a security barrier near the White House at 17th & E.”

Ms Ford was arrested while trying to climb the fence in spring last year.

She was arrested again in July when she violated a stay-away order at the White House.
