The Secret Service is investigating how a bullet hit an exterior window of the White House. A round was stopped by ballistic glass behind the historic exterior glass. The Secret Service also tells News4 that one additional round was also found on the exterior of the White House.

The investigation started after an incident on Friday night where gunshots were heard near the White House. Police have since been searching for a suspect in that case, 21 year old Oscar Ortega Hernandez . The Secret Service has not yet conclusively connected Friday's incident with the bullets found on White House grounds.

The rounds were discovered Tuesday morning, and the investigation is ongoing.
