DEVELOPING: The Vatican says a car rushed a gate into Vatican City, reached palace courtyard before being stopped by police
Vatican gendarmes fired a shot at the speeding car’s front tires after it rushed the gate, but the vehicle managed to continue on its way, the Vatican press office said in a statement late Thursday.
It wasn’t clear if Pope Francis was anywhere near the incident, which occurred after 8 p.m. at the Santa Anna gate, one of the main entrances to the Vatican City State in the heart of Rome. The incident was a rare incursion into the city state, much of which is off limits to the general public, especially at night.
