WASHINGTON (Reuters) — Police arrested a 21-year-old man on Wednesday suspected of shooting at the White House last week, after federal agents found two bullets that had hit the mansion, including one that struck a window.
Oscar Ortega-Hernandez was picked up by Pennsylvania state troopers at a hotel near Indiana, Pennsylvania, the U.S. Secret Service said, some four hours drive time from Washington.
No one was hurt in the Friday night shooting and President Barack Obama and wife Michelle were out of town at the time.
The Secret Service said the bullet that broke a window was stopped by protective ballistic glass behind the executive mansion's historic external glass, said Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan. The other round struck the exterior of the building.
The rounds were found on the south side of the White House, where the master bedroom and the Lincoln bedroom of the presidential private residence are located, as well as other bedrooms and spaces that can be used by the first family.
Secret Service officers had heard shots fired on the street, between 700 and 800 yards (meters) south of the president's residence.
Two cars were seen racing away from that scene. One of those vehicles was later found abandoned nearby with a semi-automatic rifle on board.
At the time of the incident, the president was in California before heading to Hawaii.
The shooting was being investigated by the Secret Service as well as Washington and U.S. Parks police, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
