WASHINGTON - The Secret Service says the man wanted in connection with Friday's shooting near the White House has been taken into custody.
Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez was arrested at the Hampton Inn in Indiana, Pa. at about 12:35 p.m. Wednesday after a hotel employee recognized him and called police. He is currently in the custody of Pennsylvania State Police.
When reached by phone, a hotel employee said he had been instructed by police not to speak to reporters. A bomb squad has since been called to search the hotel.
Ortega-Hernandez was sought by federal authorities after reports of gunfire near the White House on Friday night while President Barack Obama was traveling to a summit in Hawaii. Witnesses heard shots and saw two speeding vehicles in the area. An assault rifle was also recovered.
No one was injured in the shooting, but officials are investigating two bullets that hit the White House, one of them apparently cracking a window on the residential level where the Obama family lives.

Looks like an OWS to me but hey.
Another OWS all-star.
Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez
If they caught him while he’s stoned they won’t be getting a straight answer out of him unless the Secret Service bribes him with a few pizza pies.
What?! They arrested Cheech Marin!?
Lengthy but fails to mention the most interesting part — that he had been hanging out at the nearby OWS camp in the days before the incident.
It’s not hard to see which way the media’s going to go on this one. It’s reported that the guy is from Idaho. He has the word “Israel” tattoed on the side of his neck. He has a tattoo of hands folded in prayer on his chest.
I bet $10 that he is an illegal alien.
Looks like Che Guevara on a ski holiday to me.
I’ll take that bet. The majority of people with Spanish surnames are not here illegally.
Not surprising...reports that he is mentally ill, a drug user, a domestic violence perp, and homeless. Glomming onto a tent city in a park would make sense to him and many others of the ilk.
Investigative sources indicate he has an obsession with the White House.
Thus the shooting...
More like Ashton Kutcher!
The tip off for me is his two last names. The first last name is his father’s surname. The second last name is his mother’s surname. That is the legal name system in Mexico and all the other banana republics.
“I got the stuff, open up the door”
“Dave’s not here, man”
Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez?.......................
Typical KKK sheet wearing, gun toting, Bible clinging, Tea party right wing nut case.............................
I bow to your mad typing skills in beating me to this post.
