Reporter there was an emergency in september 2014 when fencejumper omar gonzalez, with a knife in his back pocket, raced across the north lawn and into the residence. Gonzalez, an army veteran, suffered from mental illness, like many fence jumper apprehended by the secret service. You have to admire the restraint of the officers. The last thing they want to do is use lethal force but theyre well prepared to do that on the ground, ill just say that. Reporter alles said hez agents are able to reduce fence jumping with bike raks but its a different kind of threat that has him on alert. The most dangerous would be a complex attack, potentially a Suicide Attack with some kind of followon attack with the suicide bomber.

Reporter do you have the resources you need for your agency . Of course, we have funding needs. Weve laid those out to the congress and, also, to the to the administration.

I dont know where to look, and i have a child.

Some of the people here say they were only given 24 hours to pack all of their belongings and get out before the bulldozers arrive, and they say to make sure they got out quickly, the government turned off their electricity and their water.
