KAILUA, Hawaii (AP) -- President Obama abruptly ended his golf outing and sped in his motorcade to his compound Monday after he learned that the child of a friend was injured while playing on the beach.

Members of the first family were fine, a White House official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of a reluctance to discuss personal matters involving the president.

Journalists saw an ambulance speed past with its lights on when they returned to the secured neighborhood where Obama was staying . The ambulance then left the neighborhood with a black sedan trailing.

The president was playing golf with friends from Chicago who joined him on his holiday vacation. The White House is not identifying which friend's child was injured.

After a brief delay, Obama returned to the course.
