白宫外两起安保事件：汽车冲上 Lafayette Park 人行道、另一人翻越路障，两人被捕
华盛顿—11月9日上午10点前，美国首都华盛顿哥伦比亚特区白宫北侧的 Lafayette Park 发生两起安保事件：一辆汽车冲上公园北侧人行道并撞上标识牌，几乎同一时间，另一人翻越公园西北角的路障。美国特勤局（USSS）称，两人均被当场逮捕，白宫一度短暂封锁，事发时总统特朗普正在白宫内。两起事件是否有关联，目前尚不清楚，调查仍在进行。
据特勤局声明，当天上午10点前，特勤局警察与国民警卫队赶到 Lafayette Park 北侧的第16街与 H Street NW 交界处，一辆汽车在那里冲上人行道。声明称，司机与执法人员发生对抗，但很快被逮捕。目击者拍摄的视频显示，一辆银色轿车停在白宫北侧的砖铺步道上，车头冒烟，车旁有特勤局人员与国民警卫队士兵。
特勤局声明还说，几乎同一时间，另一人翻越 Lafayette Park 西北角的路障，也很快被逮捕。据 NBC4 华盛顿报道，一名熟悉案件的消息人士称，涉事司机被控以危险武器伤人罪和袭警罪，翻越路障者被控非法侵入。特勤局尚未公布两名被捕者的姓名，官方声明中也未列明罪名。
事件发生后，华盛顿特区大都会警察局（MPD）的爆炸物处理小组奉召对涉事车辆进行预防性排查，Lafayette Park 周边道路一度关闭。白宫内的记者被要求留在西翼简报室等候。据媒体报道，封锁持续约半小时后解除，周边道路随后恢复通行。
特勤局表示，两起事件都在调查中。截至目前，官方未报告有人受伤，也未说明两名被捕者的动机。

Two Arrested Near White House After Car Mounts Lafayette Park Sidewalk and Second Person Jumps Barricade
WASHINGTON — Two security incidents unfolded just before 10 a.m. on Monday, November 9, at Lafayette Park on the north side of the White House in Washington, D.C.: a car drove onto the sidewalk on the park's north side and struck a sign, and, around the same time, a second person jumped a barricade at the park's northwest corner. The U.S. Secret Service said both individuals were quickly placed under arrest, the White House was briefly placed on lockdown, and President Donald Trump was at the White House at the time. Whether the two incidents are related is not yet clear, and both remain under investigation.
In its statement, the Secret Service said that just before 10:00 a.m., Secret Service Police and the National Guard responded to the north side of Lafayette Park at 16th Street and H Street, NW, where a vehicle had crashed onto the sidewalk. "The driver was combative with law enforcement, but was quickly placed under arrest," the statement said. Video recorded by witnesses showed a silver sedan stopped on a brick walkway just north of the White House, smoke rising from its hood, with Secret Service personnel and National Guard troops standing by.
"Around the same time, a second individual jumped a barricade near the northwest corner of Lafayette Park. That individual was also quickly placed under arrest," the statement added. NBC4 Washington reported, citing a source familiar with the case, that the driver was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and assault on a police officer, and that the person who jumped the barricade was charged with unlawful entry. The Secret Service has not released the names of either person arrested, and its statement did not list charges.
After the incidents, the Metropolitan Police Department's Explosive Ordinance Disposal team was called to sweep the vehicle as a precaution, and roads around Lafayette Park were closed, the Secret Service said. Journalists inside the White House were directed to remain in the West Wing briefing room. Media reports said the lockdown was lifted after about half an hour, and surrounding roads later reopened.
The Secret Service said both incidents are currently under investigation. Officials have reported no injuries, and no motive has been announced for either person arrested.
