Man in Black Attempts to Scale White House Fence, Prompting Swift Secret Service Response

In a startling incident on Monday, a man dressed entirely in black attempted to climb the security fence on the South Grounds of the White House. Witnesses report hearing him exclaim, "F–k it," before making his ascent. The event was captured on video by tourist David Stanley, who described the scene as "surreal."

As the man began his climb, Secret Service agents inside the White House grounds quickly mobilized, with rooftop snipers and K9 units moving into position. The climber reached the top of the fence but became entangled on the spikes, leading him to retreat and descend back. . .
