From today’s Wash Post, here’s a graph that really stood out—

After barreling past the guard immediately inside the door, Gonzalez, who was carrying a knife, dashed past the stairway leading a half-flight up to the first familys living quarters. He then ran into the 80-foot-long East Room, an ornate space often used for receptions or presidential addresses.

Sounds like all that was standing between an assassin and the president’s family was one Secret Service dude between the front door and the stairs to the family residence. Seriously crazy.
