The man who allegedly fired shots at the U.S. Whitehouse in what was described as an attempt to assassinate President Barack Obama believed he is a modern day Jesus and Obama is the AntiChrist, according to documents released by the court in charge of the case, and according to a video that he sent to the Oprah Winfrey show.
From the video tape sent to Winfrey, the 21 year old from Idaho, Oscar Ramirez Ortega-Hernandez said, "It is not just a coincidence that I look like Jesus. I am the modern day Jesus Christ that you all have been waiting for.”
Dressed in all black, Ortega-Hernandez is reported to have said that he was charging America with “fighting … or should I say bullying … those other countries for their oil our freedom is at stake.”
A federal court in Pittsburgh Thursday charged the man from Idaho Falls with attempting to assassinate President Obama or one of his staff, according to The Associated Press. Court documents released the same day say Ortega-Hernandez told a friend he believed Obama was the Antichrist and needed to be killed.
Ortega-Hernandez fired several shots with a semi-automatic rifle at the White House from a street, cracking a window close to the President’s bedroom, last Friday. President Obama and his wife, Michele, were on a nine-day tour to the Asia Pacific region at the time and no one was hurt.
Ortega-Hernandez claimed that "God had been speaking to me through my thoughts and gave me all the experiences there are for human beings. God taught me how to react to developments around me, and that I have a 'guardian angel'.”
The suspect, whose family had reported him missing last month, was arrested by Pennsylvania State Police at a hotel near the Indiana state line Wednesday. Investigators reportedly found a Romanian-made semi-automatic assault rifle with a scope, three magazines loaded with 7.62 x 39 mm cartridges, nine spent shell casings, brass knuckles, and an aluminum baseball bat in his black Honda Accord.
If convicted, the suspect could face life in prison.
Francisco Martin Duran, the man who fired 29 shots at the White House in 1994 and was convicted of the attempted murder of President Bill Clinton, is serving a 40-year prison sentence.
