In this article, it talks about how the Secret Service put the White House in a security lockdown at around 10:15 Saturday morning. This was due to the fact that a bomb-sniffing dog became aware of a car not too far away from the White House. Several roads were closed because of this incident as well as a food vendor cart caught on fire. They are not sure if these two happenings are related. The Obama's were inside the White House at the time of this threat but were just about to leave to travel to Selma, Alabama for the 50th anniversary of the Bloody Sunday March. Later that afternoon, the car was said to not have been a threat and everyone was safe.
