WEST PALM BEACH: Authorities say a vehicle in President Donald Trump's motorcade was struck by a "2x4" and five middle school students are now facing charges.
Palm Beach County Sheriff's office spokeswoman Teri Barbera said in a statement Saturday that the incident happened on Friday at around 1.45pm.
Officers assisting the US Secret Service reported that a vehicle in the motorcade had been struck by what was believed to be a small, hard object.
Several members of the motorcade returned to the scene after completing the motorcade to look for witnesses and objects along the roadway.
A child from a local middle school confessed to throwing the wood at the motorcade and also implicated four additional students.
Charges will be filed with the Palm Beach County States Attorney's Office. - AP
