The Secret Service is investigating how a bullet hit an exterior window of the White House. A round was stopped by ballistic glass behind the historic exterior glass. The Secret Service also tells News4 that one additional round was also found on the exterior of the White House.
The investigation started after an incident on Friday night where gunshots were heard near the White House. Police have since been searching for a suspect in that case, 21 year old Oscar Ortega Hernandez .

I’m betting that it was a double or triple paned window and the bullet only penetrated one plate.

Any of you folks have interior windows?? courtyards, lightwells. These are windows not on the outer (exterior) envelope.

NBC doesn’t seem clear on whether this was a round that was found or a slug. The former would be a whole new ballgame.

Police believe that the suspect, Oscar Ramiro Ortega, of Idaho, is mentally ill. ... U.S. Park Police say Ortega may have spent time blending in with Occupy D.C. protesters.Easy peasy!

They will find the “perp” if it takes millions. But they wont find anybody who understands basic economics.

It sounds in this case as though there are the original windows of the White House building, and a hidden inner set of windows made from ballistic glass. The two-layer arrangement is so the exterior of the building retains its historical appearance while still maintaining protection for the President. I have something vaguely similar in my office, where there’s an exterior mirrored glass “wall”, and inside are some regular sash windows (this is India, and apparently they don’t really have the whole modern office building thing down just yet).

the Tea Party will probably get blamed regardless of anything else. From the comment section:

It probably was a teabagger. Those people are craaaaaaazy!

I was nervous there for a minute when I read he was with OWS, then I saw that he was “just blending in” the press will easily make him a tea party member.

Good point. The White House is a national treasure, and I hope there was no serious damage to that structure.
