【大紀元2018年02月24日訊】（大紀元記者林燕編譯報導）週五（2月23日）下午3點多，一輛麵包車在白宮附近撞上安全路障。執法人員告訴CBS記者，看起來像是蓄意行為。消息人士說，肇事女司機來自田納西州，之前已被特勤局鎖定。
據悉，該車輛沒有碰撞白宮周圍的安全屏障，但白宮已關門。司機立即被特勤局特工逮捕，並接受詢問。
特勤局的推文指，事件中沒有執法人員受傷，也沒有人開槍。事件發生地靠近白宮南邊草坪，導致華盛頓特區17街和E街附近的交通封鎖。
事件發生在美國總統川普（特朗普）在白宮內與澳大利亞總理特恩布爾（Malcolm Turnbull）的新聞發布會後。
特勤局晚間8點發表的聲明沒有透露該女子身分，只簡略指「35歲」、「來自田納西州拉維涅（La Vergne）」。

「特勤局之前在白宮附近曾接觸過該女子，該女子有多起犯罪記錄。」聲明說。「該女子今天因多個違法行為再次被捕，並運送到大都會警察局。白宮大樓恢復正常運營。」
美國國家廣播公司（NBC）引用警方記錄說，該名女子持有槍械。根據警方報告，該女子在麵包車內時，一名在場警官看到她手上有槍，她亦多次拒絕聽從指令、放下槍械。隨後兩名警官在把她從麵包車內帶離時，不得不奪下她手中的槍。
從媒體現場發回的照片看，肇事麵包車的後窗玻璃破裂。
總統川普在下午5點46分發推文，感謝特勤局的出色工作。
Thank you to the great men and women of the United States @SecretService for a job well done!
