Catholic News Agency, Shannon Mullen; Courtney Mares:
An unidentified man is in custody after driving a car at high speed through a gate at the Vatican Thursday, the Holy See press office said.
A guard stationed at the Santa Anna entrance fired his weapon in the direction of the vehicle’s front tires, hitting the left front fender, but the vehicle proceeded onto the Vatican grounds until the driver got out at the San Damaso Courtyard, the main courtyard of the Apostolic Palace, the press office said. There the man was blocked and placed under arrest by the Gendarmerie Corps, the press office said. Report is here.
