Washington, May 30 (RHC)-- In the U.S. capital, the White House went into a brief lockdown, according to U.S. media, after hundreds of people rallied gathered at a park across the street from the president's mansion.
Peter Alexander, NBC News' White House correspondent, said in a tweet: "The White House is under lockdown orders from the U.S. Secret Service due to protests outside the gates over George Floyd." The lockdown was lifted about an hour later.
Demonstrators gathered at the Lafayette Park had wielded signs saying "Stop Killing Us" and called for justice for George Floyd.
