Two women in custody after Mar-a-Largo incident

US Secret Service agents on Friday fired shots at a rented SUV that sped through two security checkpoints at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, but law enforcement officials said it was a case of "someone who was driving very recklessly'' and not a terrorist attack.

There were no injuries. Trump was in Washington at the time of the incident. There were no injuries.

Investigators took Hannah Roemhild, a 30-year-old Connecticut woman, into custody.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw couldn't say what charges would be filed because the investigation continues. It's not immediately clear how many shots were fired.

A second woman also was taken into custody, but her name wasn't released. The relationship between the women wasn't immediately clear, but investigators believe Roemhild picked her up after the incident near Trump's resort and therefore was not directly involved. The second woman was not arrested.

Bradshaw said the incident began with a report of a woman dancing on the roof of a car near the Breakers Resort and acting erratically. An officer approached the black SUV and knocked on the window to check on the woman's well-being, but Roemhild ignored the officer, who then broke the window and unsuccessfully tried to grab the steering wheel. She sped away.

At about 11:40 am, Florida Highway Patrol officers chased the SUV as it headed toward security checkpoints at Mar-a-Largo located several blocks from the resort. It's not known if Roemhild intentionally drove toward Trump's resort or turned on Ocean Drive at random.

Secret Service agents in the president's security detail fired shots when the SUV didn't stop at the checkpoints. The SUV sped away. The highway patrol and a sheriff's helicopter then pursued the vehicle.

During the chase, the SUV reached speeds of 70 miles per hour and the highway patrol broke off the pursuit because it didn't want to endanger other cars or pedestrians.

A license plate reader quickly located the SUV. It was a rented vehicle and officers went to the motel Roemhild used as a local address. Officers tackled Roemhild as she left the black SUV and apparently tried to flee to her motel room, presumably in an effort to hide, Bradshaw told reporters at a news conference.

Investigators secured search warrants for the car and the woman's motel room. The continued to question Roemhild Friday.

There have been several intrusions at Mar-a-Lago since Trump became president. A few hours after Trump and his family left the resort on Jan 5, a Florida man who had been dishonorably discharged from the US Marines for sex offences got past two checkpoints by claiming to be part of the president's helicopter crew. He was arrested.

In November, Yujing Zhang was sentenced to eight months in jail for trespassing at Mar-a-Lago. Last March, she slipped past at least five secret service agents and into the main reception area of the resort. When intercepted by officers, she carried four mobile phones, a laptop computer, an external hard drive and a thumb drive that investigators said contained malicious software.
