White House Shooting Suspect Arrested in Pennsylvania
If police think you've shot bullets into the White House residence, it's probably not going to take authorities that long to find your ass, wherever you are.
And so Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, the missing suspect in the D.C. car shootout on Friday that the Secret Service believe may have left two bullets in Barack Obama's window, has been caught in an Indiana, Pennsylvania hotel.
WASHINGTON - UPDATE: The Secret Service says the man wanted in connection with Friday's shooting near the White House has been taken into custody.
Authorities say Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez was arrested at a hotel near Indiana, Pa. at about 12:35 p.m. Wednesday and is currently in the custody of Pennsylvania State Police.
Should make for some exciting interrogations. In the meantime, if you want to play What's This Guy's Deal?, here's something to start with:
The Park Police had also released photographs showing that Mr. Ortega had distinctive tattoos, including the word "Israel" on the left side of his neck. He is also said to have three dots tattooed on his right hand, the name "Ortega" on his back, rosary beads and hands clasped in prayer on his right chest and folded hands on his left chest.
Three dots are a symbol in the MS-13 gang, which has a solid presence in the DC area.
