A man wearing all black was apparently obsessed with
President Obama when he decided to fire shots at the White House with an
assault rifle. He cracked the window of
the family’s living quarters, but the president was away at the time.
The secret service found two bullets in the White House lawn
and then hunted down Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez in
Pennsylvania after a four-day manhunt. The 21-year old man from Idaho was arrested when he was identified by a
desk clerk at the hotel.
Ortega was scheduled to appear at 2 pm Thursday in
Federal Court. The Secret Service said
they knew little about Ortega-Hernandez before the shooting, but they are
obviously investigating him a great deal now.
They believe that he targeted the White House out of an intense hatred
of President Obama .
Businessman Monte McCall said that Ortega-Hernandez compared
President Obama to the anti-christ.
"He seemed very sincere in what he believed but
seemed rather troubled," McCall said.
Police are now investigating Ortega Hernandez’s
mental health after the shooting. They
say that they believe he felt himself to be on a mission from God to kill the
president. The bullets he shot at the
White House were stopped by ballistic glass.
