Accused White House shooter Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez returns to court for hearing
(CBS/AP) WASHINGTON - A man who allegedly fired shots at the White House in attempt to kill President Barack Obama in November is due back in court.
The Idaho native, Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, is due back in court for a hearing on Wednesday.
The evening of Nov. 11, when Obama was out of town, Ortega allegedly fired an assault rifle at the White House.
Ballistic glass stopped one of the bullets from smashing through a window of the living quarters of the executive mansion.
People who know Ortega said he acted strangely in the months before the incident. They suggested he believed he was Jesus and used to call Obama "the devil."
Preliminary psychiatric screening found him competent to stand trial but federal prosecutors are asking for further extensive tests.
