Police on Thursday charged an Idaho man suspected of firing shots Nov. 11 at the White House with attempting to assassinate President Obama. The suspect, Oscar Ortega-Hernandez, is also shown in viral video footage claiming to be the "modern-day Jesus Christ."

ABC News reports that the charges filed Thursday allege that Ortega-Hernandez, believed he "needed to kill" the president because Obama was "the anti-Christ."

Ortega-Hernandez was arrested Wednesday in Indiana, Penn., following a full-scale manhunt. On the night of Nov. 11, gunshots were heard at the White House. (The president and First Lady were traveling at the time.) On Tuesday, investigators reportedly recovered two bullets on the White House lawn.

No one has yet disclosed a clear motive for the attack--one reason why a past video of Ortega-Hernandez is gaining significant attention.

In the video, which was reportedly shot in September by an Idaho University student and released by multiple media outlets this week, Ortega-Hernandez complains about U.S. dependence on foreign oil and likens himself to Jesus.

"It's not just a coincidence that I look like Jesus," a bearded Ortega-Hernandez says in the 45-minute video. "I am the modern-day Jesus Christ that you all have been waiting for." At one point, he dons a necklace with a crucifix attached.

Ortega-Hernandez' mother and sister told his hometown paper, the Idaho Falls Post Register, that he had been acting strangely over the past year.
