The accused has been charged for: carrying a dangerous weapon, carrying a rifle or shotgun outside a business, possession of unregistered ammunition, and possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device, reported CNN.

The US Secret Service informed that Uniformed Division officers had detained the man before the Metropolitan Police arrived on the scene.

According to a reporter at Fox News, Washington, Murray had been experiencing paranoid delusions that the military or government wanted to kill him and that he sent his mother a text message saying he was in Washington and was going to take care of his problem.
