Law enforcement officials told NBC News that the woman had mental problems and was known to the Secret Service because she's been around the White House before.
"No law enforcement personnel were injured during the incident," the Secret Service said. And no shots were fired, they said.
A later statement from the Secret Service did not identify the woman, but it said she was 35 years old from La Vergne, Tennessee. The agency said that she drove into the security barrier outside the White House intentionally, but the van never breached the perimeter.
"The Secret Service has had previous encounters with the female in the vicinity of the White House resulting in numerous arrests for a variety of criminal violations," the statement said. "The female was again charged today with numerous criminal violations and transported to the Metropolitan Police Department. The White House complex has returned to normal operations.”
President Donald Trump was hosting Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull at the time but neither was ever in any danger.
