A man wanted in connection with a shooting near the White House has been arrested, the US Secret Service says.
Authorities in Indiana, Pennsylvania held Oscar Ramiro Ortega, 21, on Wednesday, officials said.
Two bullets were found at the White House, one of which struck a protective window when it was fired.
The casings were found on the grounds during a probe launched after Friday's shooting, but have not yet been "conclusively connected" to it.
"An assessment of the exterior of the White House is ongoing," the Secret Service told the AFP news agency.
