 WASHINGTON (AP) — The Secret Service says a bullet

hit an exterior window of the White House and was

stopped by ballistic glass.

 An additional round of ammunition was also found on

the exterior of the White House. The bullets were found

Tuesday.

The discovery follows reports of gunfire near the White

House on Friday. Witnesses heard shots and saw two

speeding vehicles in the area. An AK-47 rifle was also

recovered.

The Secret Service said it has not conclusively 

connected Friday's incident with the bullets found on

the White House grounds.

U.S. Park Police have an arrest warrant out for Oscar

Ortega-Hernandez, who is believed to be connected to

the earlier incident. He is described as a 21-year-old

Hispanic man, 5 feet 11 inches tall, 160 pounds, with a

medium build, brown eyes and black hair.

Just Me  5 hours ago

did the idiot really think bullets would penetrate any part of the White House?

David  • Vancouver, United States  • 4 hours ago

Am I reading this right? Did somebody do a drive-by on the White House.

That's...different.

Candace  about an hour ago

I often wonder if the FBI monitors the comments posted on these boards.

Derek  • Hopkins, United States  • 5 hours ago

They recovered an AK-47? Doesn't say where or how. And...how do they know

who the shooter is? There's way more to this story than the couple of lousy

paragraphs above. The guy would have to be a pretty crazy or stupid person to

do a drive by shooting at the white house. Geez.

Akira  • Lincoln, United States  • 57 minutes ago

So, you can shoot at the White House and people just wonder what that pop,

pop was?This story smacks of #$%$ bigtime!

Angel  • Seagoville, United States  • 31 minutes ago

I would never wish the president would be killed but I have to say, I've been

expecting it since he was elected.

FireMedic447  • St. Louis, United States  • 12 minutes ago

Nah, couldn't happen. Washington DC has the toughest gun control laws in the

country. Nobody is allowed to have a gun. Must have been a police officer or

SS agent target practicing, they're the only ones with guns!

Tom  • Jackson, United States  • 16 minutes ago

If it turns out to be guns that the administration sold, the story will be buried...

Tom  44 minutes ago

Wouldnt it be ironic if the gun came from "Fast And Furious"...?

Jacko  • Charlotte, United States  • 5 hours ago

It's been awhile since an attempt was made on a president. It's in our history. I

 just hope it does not happen again. Given the atmosphere of hatred in the

capitol, I am not shocked. But I am very disappointed.

A A  • Bintulu, Malaysia  • 12 minutes ago

I honestly believe there is a white house agency that is getting paid to monitor

these comments.....

Snorri Sturluson  17 minutes ago

Have the effects of not enforcing our immigration laws reached the White

House? Or is this the plain old criminality that has always spoiled our Nation's

Capital. Too bad that the average citizens in Washington, DC can not afford to

have ballistic glass installed in their homes at taxpayers expense.

Streamline Train  47 minutes ago

It's all fun and games until someone gets a bullet in the eye!

Many of us are more than a little angry at the current occupant of the White

House and his administration, but no one who loves this country and

understands its history would ever advocating shooting up the place! I hope

they find those responsible soon and put them away for as long as the law

allows.

GaryN  17 minutes ago

So we're supposed to believe someone took two shots at the White House

and then dropped the weapon and ran? That makes no sense.

Gov Sci  2 hours ago

Odds are 10,000 to 1 that the weapon discovered was actually an AK-47.

More than likely the weapon was a semi-automatic clone. The media loves to

erroneously splash the AK-47 model designation around to feed the flames of

sensationalism. Gee, and we thought Yellow Journalism was bad 120 years

ago...

S P  • Morgan City, United States  • 12 minutes ago

what? guns in Washington DC, no way ,they have the very best gun control ,seems to work as well as democrack congress

JOE PRO  14 minutes ago

Oscar is probably back over the border by now.

Paper Hater  • Doylestown, United States  • 51 minutes ago

Good thing they have strick gun control in Washington DC. Works well, just like

the House and Senate!
