the building. and jonathan, we re told this shooting happened along the north fence line. not inside the property on the lawn but outside. close by a few dozen feet. but then, you know, what kind of vantage does secret service have? is that an area they would be looking at, keeping a close watch on, under ordinary circumstances anyway? yes, so even though it was outside of the north fence line of the white house, it s still considered part of the white house complex. worker t remember, the secret service still maintains security posts that are beyond pennsylvania avenue. stretching all the way up to h street. you know, again this is about c c concentric rings of protection. once you get out of the 18 acres of the white house, the fenced-in area, there are multiple jurisdictions.
