Suspect Arrested in Friday’s Shooting at White House
Federal law enforcement authorities on Tuesday arrested a 21-year-0ld Idaho man
suspected of shooting with a semiautomatic rifle at the White House on Friday
night, as the Secret Service reported finding that at least one bullet had
indeed struck the presidential residence.
The Secret Service said that Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez was arrested at a
hotel near Indiana, Pa at approximately 12:35 p.m. by the Pennsylvania State
Police, acting on information from the Secret Service’s agents in Pittsburgh.
Gunfire was heard in the vicinity of the White House late Friday night, and a
man abandoned a car several blocks away, fleeing on foot and leaving behind an
AK-47 semiautomatic rifle. It was not clear for several days that someone had
deliberately fired at the White House itself.
