Small drone crashes on White House grounds

A small drone crash-landed on the grounds of the White House early Monday, prompting officials to declare a security lockdown until they were able to determine that it posed no risk. The device was spotted shortly after 3:00 am (0800 GMT) by a uniformed Secret Service officer on the south grounds of the White House complex, the US Secret Service said in a statement. The drone was operated by a government employee who told the Secret Service he did not mean to fly the device over the White House
