Part of White House evacuated; Obama not present
- 10 years ago
This was just moments after an intruder was spotted on the White House grounds.
Secret Service called for staff and media to depart the premises. They could be seen filing out of the briefing room and waiting on the sidewalk outside.
The security scare came hours after President Obama and his family departed for Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland.
White House staff and media were allowed back on the grounds thirty minutes later.
