At 9:30 on Friday, Washington D.C. Police received reports that shots were fired in the middle of the busy intersection of 16th and Constitution. Police soon discovered that the shots were fired at the White House, and bullets were found in the protective glass of the windows. Police believe the man who fired the shots was 21-year-old Oscar Ramiro Ortega of Idaho. He had been hanging around the mall for several weeks, and police believe him to be mentally ill. President Obama was in Australia at the time of the attack, and will be for the next week. Ortega fled after he fired the shots, and police found his vehicle in the intersection with a rifle inside. This is extremely relevant because the leader of one of the most influential countries in the world's safety continues to be at risk while this man is still not found.
