ABC News:

ABC News has learned authorities are increasingly concerned that a man sought in connection with a bizarre shooting incident on the Washington Mall last week may pose a threat to President Obama.

The Secret Service now suspects that a bullet fired in this incident may have hit the White House after a bullet round was found in a White House window, though the round had not yet been conclusively linked to the incident. The round was stopped by ballistic glass behind the historic exterior glass, while an additional round has been found on the exterior of the White House.

Police believe the suspect, 21-year-old Oscar Ramiro Ortega of Idaho, is mentally ill. Ortega has an extensive record, ranging from domestic violence to drug charges. Sources say a police investigation has uncovered evidence suggesting Ortega has a fixation on the White House.

U.S. Park police believe Ortega may have spent time blending in with the Occupy DC group.

According to NBC Washington there were two rounds found, one int he window and one on the exterior of the White House and they were found on Tuesday Morning.

They have no conclusive evidence that the incident from Friday, November 11, 2011 is tied to the bullets found at the White House and ballistic reports are not complete.
