Shortly after noon on Wednesday, D.C. police officers arrested an armed man on the 3400 block of Massachusetts Avenue NW, near the Vice President’s residence and the U.S. Naval Observatory.

Paul Murray, 31, from San Antonio, Texas, had been detained by the U.S. Secret Service. Metropolitan Police Department officers then arrested and charged him with four counts:  Carrying a dangerous weapon, carrying a rifle or shotgun outside of a business, possession of unregistered ammunition, and possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device.

Police also recovered a rifle and ammunition from Murray’s vehicle. The rifle case, magazine and ammunition were all “in plain view,” according to a Metropolitan Police Department report released on Thursday.

It is not immediately clear who Murray was targeting. The police report notes that D.C. police received a bulletin last week from law enforcement in College Station, Texas, advising them that Murray believed he had been targeted while in the military overseas, owned an AR-15 rifle, and that he’d said he “would hurt someone ‘if it was justified.'”

A U.S. Secret Service officer involved in apprehending Murray said the man had told them “he was looking for help and that he wanted to talk to the President,” according to the report.

Vice President Kamala Harris was not in Washington when the incident occurred: She is currently traveling to states that were hit particularly hard by the pandemic.

After the Inauguration, Harris and her family moved into Blair House, the president’s official guest residence near the White House, while repairs were made at the vice presidential home on the U.S. Naval Observatory grounds.

All vice presidents since Walter Mondale in the late 1970s have lived there with their families.
