A 21-year old was being held in police custody on Wednesday on suspicions he fired shots at the White House. Federal agents detected two bullets in the U.S. president’s residence, one that struck the exterior of the building and one that broke a window. The suspect, Oscar Ortega-Hernandez, was arrested by Pennsylvania state troopers at a hotel some four hours drive away from Washington, Reuters reports. According to the Secret Service, protective ballistic glass behind the White House’s historic external glass stopped the bullet that struck a window.
