Barack Obama's security breached as armed man gets close to his SUV despite USSS supervision

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Barack Obama's safety was compromised while he was near famous restaurant Mother Wolf in Los Angeles. 

As per TMZ, an armed man managed to walk up close to the former president’s SUV on Saturday, September 21.

Security breach during Barack Obama's family dinner

Barack Obama was sitting in the backseat of the vehicle close to 7.30 pm, when the man, who was said to be a security guard came close to him despite Secret Service personnel guarding the politician. 

The outlet later interviewed the armed man and he opened up about the incident. The security guard heard commotion and went out to check why federal agents were outside. 

After he walked out in the alleyway from a staircase, he saw two Secret Service agents and a black SUV with Department of Homeland Security plates.

The armed man said that he took images of the vehicle, thinking there would be someone famous, but then saw Obama sitting in the backseat working on a laptop.

He immediately went back and around 30 minutes later his credentials and license to carry a concealed weapon were examined by the Secret Service.

The security guard gave him a clean chit, but the man felt it was "definitely a security lapse on their part that there was no one on the backside of SUV, nor covering the stairwell."

Obama was joined by his daughters Malia and Sasha later for dinner at a popular restaurant.

"I don’t like Obama, but I don’t want anyone trying to harm him.. the SS is so bad," another questioned the Secret Service's lapse.
