Last friday, at about 9 p.m. U.S. Park Police and the Secret Service investigated a shooting towards the white house. They were shot 700 to 800 yards from the white house. The bullet got stopped by a bulletproof window. The Secret Service is investigating whether the bullet fired is connected to a shooting nearby. A Secret Service official said there is no specific concern for President Barack Obama's safety. Within 5 minutes, officers located a vehicle in the 2300 block of Constitution Avenue. Evidence in the vehicle led to a arrest warrant out to Oscar Ortega-Hernandez. A weapon registered to Oscar was found in the vehicle. Oscar Ortega is described as a 21 year old hispanic male. After they interviewed people Oscar knew, they came to the conclusion that he had a direction of interest towards the house.
