Timeline of White House Security Scare

WASHINGTON, May 11, 2005 -- -- The White House and U.S. Capitol building were briefly evacuated today after a small aircraft entered restricted airspace. Military jets were scrambled to intercept the plane, which landed at Frederick Municipal Airport in western Maryland. Two men were taken into custody. Following is a timeline of the incident released by White House press secretary Scott McClellan.

President Bush was not at the White House at the time. He returned about 1:30 p.m. Vice President Dick Cheney was in the West Wing when the evacuation began. He was moved to a secure location but later returned to the White House grounds, McClellan said.

Laura Bush and Nancy Reagan, who had been a guest at the White House, were in the executive mansion at the time of the evacuation. They were taken to a secure location, McClellan said.
