Las Vegas: A woman was taken into custody for hurling a shoe at Hillary Clinton on Thursday during a Las Vegas speech.

The incident happened as the former secretary of state was delivering a speech at an Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries meeting at the Mandalay Bay hotel-casino.
But Clinton ducked and did not appear to be hit by the object.

The former First lady then joked about the incident as she continued with her speech.
Security ushered out a woman who said she threw a shoe but didn`t identify herself to reporters or explain the action.

Hillary has been traveling across the country giving speeches since leaving the State Department last year.
