Watch: Video Shows Vet Storm White House with Knife

CNN aired new video of a man identified as Omar J. Gonzalez, a 42-year-old homeless Army veteran diagnosed with PTSD, jumping the White House fence and charging inside while carrying a knife with a 3.5-inch serrated blade last Friday.

The Secret Service said when questioned Mr. Gonzales explained he was concerned because “the atmosphere was collapsing and needed to get the information to the president of the United States so that he could get the word out to the people.”
