WASHINGTON (AP) -- Secret Service officers have apprehended a man who jumped over the White House's North Fence and appeared to be heading in the direction of the presidential residence.
The officers with their guns drawn ordered the man to lie down. The Secret Service says the man is in custody. He was seemingly wearing a Pokemon hat.

Fox News aired video of Secret Service officers detaining the suspect with their guns drawn:
