Local resident Susan Lillard spotted a small white aircraft flying over Biden’s neighborhood around 12:45 p.m. — a violation of the FAA airspace restrictions that are always called when the president is away from the White House.</p>
<p>
Minutes later, Lillard told CBS News, she saw two military-style jets scramble over the town.</p>
<p>
Biden’s motorcade rushed away from his house toward a nearby fire station, where an SUV carrying the president and first lady drove inside the building and the Secret Service began clearing the area.</p>
<p>
The President and the first lady were evacuated and are now back at their residence.</p>

Anthony Guglielmi, Chief of Communications for the United States Secret Service (USSS) said: "Shortly before 1 pm, today a privately owned aircraft entered the restricted airspace over Rehoboth Delaware after mistakenly entering a secured area."</p>
<p>
"The aircraft was immediately escorted out of the restricted airspace. Preliminary investigation reveals the pilot was not on the proper radio channel, was not following the NOTAMS (Notice to Airmen) that had been filed and was not following published flight guidance. The United States Secret Service will be interviewing the pilot," he said.</p>

Precautionary security measures were taken but there was no significant threat to the protectee.</p>
