Oscar Ramiro Ortega (U.S. Park Police)

The man who used a semi-automatic assault rifle to fire at least eight rounds at the White House in 2011 was sentenced to 25 years in prison today.

Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, 23, pleaded guilty in September to ” to one count of injury to a dwelling and placing lives in jeopardy within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States, as well as one count of discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.” Ortega-Hernandez, who called Obama “the devil” and “the anti-Christ,” admitted to committing a terrorist act, which enhanced the sentence.

“This man drove cross-country to launch an assault rifle attack on the White House from Constitution Avenue,” U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ron Machen said in a release. “He was motivated by hatred for the President and the desire to start a revolution against the federal government. We are very fortunate that his bullets narrowly missed the U.S. Secret Service officers guarding the White House that night. This 25-year prison sentence demonstrates that anyone who comes to the nation’s capital planning to use violence should expect to spend decades behind bars.”
