A Texas man who jumped the White House fence made it through the North Portico doors on Friday night before being apprehended, the Secret Service said. The intruder, Omar J. Gonzalez, 42, of Copperas Cove, Tex., was arrested and taken to George Washington University Hospital after complaining of chest pains, said Ed Donovan, a Secret Service spokesman. None of the Obamas were home when the security breach occurred, about 7:20 p.m., but White House staff members were evacuated as a precaution, Mr. Donovan said. Mr. Gonzalez was not armed, he added, and the incident was being reviewed.

A version of this brief appears in print on September 20, 2014, on page A14 of the New York edition with the headline: Intruder Gets to White House Doors Before Arrest.
