SOUTHAVEN, Miss. - A car ran a police checkpoint outside the arena where President Bush was speaking Saturday and rammed the building. Authorities swarmed the car with weapons drawn and took away the driver and at least two children who were with her.

Bush was in his limousine when the incident happened, but the limo had not left the building and he was not hurt, a senior Bush administration official said. He left the arena less than five minutes later from an exit about 40 yards from the car.

No shots were fired from or at the car, White House spokesman Trent Duffy said. "There was a vehicle that did crash into the side of the building," Duffy said, although it was "not close" to the president's car.

"The president was never in any danger and is keeping with his schedule," Duffy later told reporters aboard Air Force One as Bush flew to Paducah, Ky.
