Crazed Driver Rams Car Through Vatican Gate, Apprehended in Palace Courtyard

A car driven by someone with apparent psychiatric problems rushed through a Vatican gate and sped past Swiss Guards into a palace courtyard.
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.
Once the car reached the San Damaso Courtyard of the Apostolic Palace, the driver got out and was immediately arrested by Vatican gendarmes.
The Vatican said the driver was about 40 years old and was in a "serious state of psychophysical alteration."
The incident was a rare incursion into the city state, much of which is off limits to the general public, especially at night.
