WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. Capitol and White House were briefly evacuated Wednesday after a small plane entered restricted airspace over the city.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan said the plane came within three miles of the White House before it turned away from it.

Security officials in several other government buildings, including the Treasury Department and the U.S. Supreme Court, ordered people to safer locations. Military aircraft were scrambled over the city.
