Police say DC shooting suspect could be threat to Obama

Authorities are concerned that a man sought in connection with a bizarre shooting incident on the Washington Mall last week may pose a threat to President Obama. Secret Service believes the suspect, Oscar Ramiro Ortega of Idaho, fired a bullet which hit the White House and was stopped by ballistic glass. He may be mentally ill, has a long police record and seems to have been fixated on the White House. “U.S. Park police say Ortega may have spent time blending in with Occupy D.C. protesters.” Sarah Palin has not been questioned yet. UPDATE: Arrested in Pennsylvania (trying to buy some tea, probably.)
