WASHINGTON — A man was arrested today at a motel in Indiana County in connection with a shooting near the White House, the U.S. Secret Service said.

The Secret Service discovered Tuesday that two bullets had hit the White House, one of them apparently cracking a window on the residential level while President Barack Obama was traveling.

The discovery of the bullet holes followed reports of gunfire near the White House on Friday night, although the bullets have not been conclusively connected with the Friday shooting. An assault rifle and an abandoned vehicle were found, which led authorities to link Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez to the reported gunfire.

Ortega, 21, was arrested this afternoon by Pennsylvania authorities at a hotel near Indiana, Pa., the Secret Service said. He was in state police custody.

Ortega is from Idaho Falls, Idaho, and was believed to be living in the Washington area.
