Suspicious Package Forces White House Lockdown

The White House was placed on a partial lockdown to investigate a suspicious package, officials from the Secret Service said. Reports say a woman threw something over the north fence of the White House on Monday. Emergency responders, including a hazardous materials response unit, were called to investigate. The lockdown occurred just hours after President Barack Obama returned from delivering a Memorial Day speech at Arlington National Cemetery.
