The intruder who scaled a White House fence and made it through the front doors was an Army veteran diagnosed with combat trauma, but authorities said Saturday the case was still under investigation.
A family member in California said Omar J. Gonzalez, 42, of Copperas Cove, Texas, near Ft. Hood, has been homeless and living alone in the wild and in campgrounds with his two pet dogs for the last two years.
We talked to him on 9/11 and he said he planned to go to a Veterans Administration hospital to seek treatments, said the family member, who asked that he not be identified pending completion of the Secret Service investigation
Hes been depressed for quite some time, the relative said. Hed been taking antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication. I suspect he stopped taking it, otherwise this wouldnt have happened.
