The Suspense Writers At Reuters

11/1/03 - SOUTHAVEN, Miss. (Reuters) - A woman rammed a car carrying children into a building where President George W. Bush was campaigning on Saturday, drawing a swarm of police in her wake before being dragged away at gunpoint.

Oh my God! Are the children OK?!

"The president was never in any danger whatsoever," White House spokesman Trent Duffy told reporters. "There was a vehicle that did crash into the side of the building."

Oh. Well, what about those that were in whatsoever danger?

Duffy said a suspect was immediately detained and handed over to local law enforcement officials. Television footage showed helmeted police officers surrounding the dark car and struggling with a blond-haired woman who was pushed to the ground and later led away, apparently resisting.

Wow. They got this on video? That never happens! Any sign of those kids?

Police lifted a young girl from the car and a boy was also led away.

Phew! God Bless! Now that we know the kids are fine, just how close did this woman get to the President?

Bush was in his limousine at the time but was not close to the car when it crashed into a loading dock area of the DeSoto Civic Center, Duffy said.
