New report of US Secret Service woes downplayed

A White House official downplayed a report that it took the Secret Service days to realize a man shot at the presidential residence in 2011, while President Barack Obama’s daughter was home. The Washington Post report came after a series of security lapses including one that saw an intruder armed with a knife jump over a security fence and burst into the White House. While Obama and his wife were out of town in November 11, 2011, their younger daughter Sasha was inside, while older daughter Malia was due to return any time. At least 7 bullets struck the upstairs residence of the White House, fired from a car parked some 700 meters away.
