Georgia teen pleads guilty to gun charge for running onto Capitol grounds with loaded shotgunWASHINGTON -- A Georgia teenager who charged at the U.S. Capitol armed with a loaded shotgun and wearing body armor and camouflage clothing pleaded guilty on Monday to illegally carrying a firearm, court records show.
Camacho pleaded guilty to two counts: illegal possession of a firearm on Capitol grounds and receipt or distribution of child pornography.
Surveillance video captured Camacho exiting a parked car and running toward the west side of the Capitol with the shotgun in his hands.
Camacho told police that he purchased the shotgun for "home defense" less than a week before he drove from Georgia to the Capitol, prosecutors said.
"He further indicated that he considered using the shotgun to breach a door to be able to enter the Capitol," they wrote.
