A man was arrested Thursday by Vatican security after driving a car at “high speeds” through the security checkpoint, according to Vatican News.
The individual, whose identity has not been released, tried to get through security but was denied and then backed up before forcing his way through an initial checkpoint, according to Vatican News. He managed to make it through two checkpoints with the Swiss Guard and the Gendarmerie Corps before one guard opened fire.

“In an attempt to stop the car,” a statement from a Vatican spokesperson revealed, according to Vatican News, “the inspector of the Gendarmerie, on guard at the gate, fired a shot in the direction of the front tires of the vehicle.”
After the shot did not stop the vehicle, the Vatican locked down the Vatican Gardens and the Santa Marta Square, where Pope Francis resides, according to Vatican News. The car managed to make it to the St. Damasus Courtyard before being stopped and the man got out voluntarily and was arrested by the Gendarmerie Corps.
The Vatican said that upon his arrest security noted that the man was about 40 years old and after being evaluated by the doctors of the Directorate of Health and Hygiene of the Vatican City State, he was determined to be in a “severe state of psychophysical alteration.”
The man is being held by Vatican security in the Gendarmerie barracks before his arraignment by the Vatican judicial authority.
The Vatican did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Although millions of American parents send their precious children off to public school every day, imagining their kids' days will be filled with reading, writing, arithmetic, science, history, sports and music, they're not only in for a shock – but for total BETRAYAL. Today's "public" (government) schools have become far-left ideological, political and religious indoctrination centers aimed at reprogramming and transforming America's children.
Kids are being taught to HATE their own country and to see themselves and their parents as racists – or victims of racists. They are sexualized and corrupted, and many are groomed into the dark LGBT world, with almost 6,000 schools prohibiting parents from even hearing about their child's transgender "transition." In between all the far-left indoctrination and sexual corruption, teachers take time to scare children to death about the near-term end of life on earth due to "catastrophic climate change." Another lie. But it's all classic Marxism/communism, with even the "3 R's" – reading, writing and arithmetic – now being corrupted with "woke," "1984"-style madness.
Perhaps never has the true threat of today's U.S. public school system been exposed as in the sensational April issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled "THE GREATEST BETRAYAL: How Marxism and madness have taken over America's public school system." Whistleblower is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
