When police in D.C. search Murray’s vehicle after picking him up, they found a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 assault rifle. They also found a large amount of ammunition in Murray’s vehicle.

Investigators have not indicated what Murray was doing when they found him outside Number One Observatory Circle. However, a D.C. police source tells FOX 5 the man told uniformed Secret Service members that he wanted to talk to the president.

Neither Vice President Kamala Harris, nor Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff were at the residence when the events unfolded. The pair are reportedly staying at the Blair House while Number One Observatory Circle undergoes renovations.
