Gravitymaster 0 #1 November 16, 2011 http://www.wtop.com/?sid=2630812&nid=109 Man who fired shots near White House at large Oscar Ramiro Ortega, 21, has been named a person of interest in the shooting near the White House by U.S. Park Police. (Courtesy of U.S. Park Police) WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. Park Police continue to search for a 21-year-old man suspected of firing shots near the White House. Sgt. David Schlosser, a park police spokesman, says it's not clear what the motivation was for the gunfire. Nothing was hit and no one was injured. The suspect, Oscar Ramiro Ortega, is charged in a warrant with carrying a dangerous weapon, a felony. Schlosser says Ortega hasn't been linked to any radical organizations, but he does have a record of arrests in three states. Schlosser says police searched the Occupy D.C. encampment in McPherson Square after callers said they had seen a man matching Ortega's description, but the search turned up empty. The gunfire was reported Friday night. Ortega was identified as the suspect after police found his abandoned car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #24 November 16, 2011 QuoteWe all know that you support nutters having guns. Not those who are threats. As I've mentioned, I cannot see any reasonable nexus between bulimia and risk of firearm ownership. A bulimic who has threatened people? Yeah. Now it's not a person with a mental illness but it's a threat. I do not support known threats having weapons, regardless of their sanity. And there's no evidence that he was a nutter.
