Pittsburgh (CNN) — An Idaho man arrested in connection with a White House shooting incident will be charged with trying to assassinate President Barack Obama or a member of his staff, a federal prosecutor said Thursday.
The announcement came at the first federal court hearing for Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, 21, who allegedly was involved in a shooting last Friday that may be responsible for two bullets found at the White House.
One bullet hit a window and was stopped by bulletproof glass, and another was found on the White House exterior, the Secret Service said. Both bullets were found Tuesday.
