Screaming Woman Rams Car Into Arena at Bush Rally
By Randall Mikkelsen
SOUTHAVEN, Miss. (Reuters) - A woman rammed a car carrying children into a building where President Bush was campaigning on Saturday, drawing a swarm of police in her wake before being dragged away at gunpoint. "The president was never in any danger whatsoever," White House spokesman Trent Duffy told reporters.
Several minutes after the incident, the president's motorcade left the scene from the exit near the crash. <...>
This is very similar to what happened October 10th . . .
FLASHBACK:
Woman nabbed after run at Air Force One
by Elisabeth J. Beardsley and David R. Guarino
Friday, October 10, 2003 An apparently deranged woman who claimed to be "radioactive" barreled her car through a secure tarmac gate at Manchester Airport yesterday - coming within 800 feet of Air Force One, just minutes before President Bush was slated to board after wrapping up a New Hampshire trip.
"She looked dazed, she didn't look right," said witness Frank Conery, a Bedford, N.H., resident who works across the street at MSC Industrial Supplies. "We couldn't believe they didn't shoot her."
The president was not yet at the airport, and the woman - described as mid-30s, dark-haired, slightly built and Caucasian - was subdued and under arrest by the time the motorcade arrived. <...>
Two does not necessarily a pattern make, but...is Bush being warned to stay on track?
