\u00a0The U.S. Secret Service said in a post on the social network X that a toddler got through the White House gate on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video shows the child, who was wearing a blue coat and red shoes, being carried by police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust after 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division officers observed a child slip through the White House north fence. Officers quickly reunited the child with their parents without incident,\u201d Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi wrote Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been times before when a child got through the fence near the White House. One child broke through a metal fence on the north side of the complex in April 2023 and went to the North Lawn before being caught by the Secret Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An arrest was made about a month before President Trump\u2019s second inauguration after someone tried to climb temporary anti-scale fencing near the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before last year\u2019s election, the Secret Service put up 8-foot metal fences around the White House, the Building for the Treasury, parts of Lafayette Square, the Naval Observatory, and the home of former Vice President Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the Secret Service had a much more serious encounter recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month, the Secret Service shot a man during an armed confrontation near the White House, the agency said in a release, noting that the incident occurred just after midnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers encountered the armed man about a block away from the White House on the west side of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, the agency explained that on Saturday, police had provided information about a suicidal individual who was believed to be traveling to Washington, D.C., from Indiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At approximately midnight, Secret Service members discovered a parked car matching the man\u2019s description near 17th and F Streets, NW, and observed a person fitting that description nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs officers approached, the individual brandished a firearm and an armed confrontation ensued, during which shots were fired by our personnel,\u201d the agency wrote in a statement. \u201cThe suspect was rushed to an area hospital and his condition is unknown.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Secret Service personnel were injured, the agency said, according to Fox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secret Service stated that the Metropolitan Police Department will lead the investigation into the shooting, as it is the primary agency responsible for use-of-force incidents within the District of Columbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Donald Trump was not at the White House during the incident, according to his official schedule. The president is scheduled to depart from his Mar-a-Lago estate today at 5 p.m. and return to Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident comes as Trump announced plans<\/a> on Friday to release reports on the prior two assassination attempts against him, pledging transparency about the attacks that nearly took his life during the 2024 presidential campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump voiced frustration over the limited information made available to the public and vowed to disclose further details soon.<\/p>\n
