Lapses in Security Found at White House after Idaho Man Shoots It
WASHINGTON (AP) — Because of a string of security lapses, the U.S. Secret Service didn't realize for four days that an Idaho man had fired a high-powered rifle at the White House in 2011.
The Washington Post reports it has found that the Secret Service bungled the response to the shooting. Oscar R. Ortega-Hernandez was sentenced to 25 years in prison for firing at least seven bullets at the White House.
The president and Michelle Obama were away, but one daughter was home.
