[alp227]

A federal grand jury in Washington on Tuesday indicted the man arrested after shots were fired at the White House in November, charging him with attempting to assassinate President Obama along with 16 assault and firearms counts.

If convicted he could face life imprisonment under federal sentencing guidelines.

The man, Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, 21, of Idaho Falls, was arrested in Pennsylvania on November 16, five days after shots were heard and his car and gun were found abandoned a few blocks from the White House. Bullets were found at the White House, including one in a window.
