Guards Added to Capitol in Shooting After Questions

The four Puerto Rican Nationalist Party members charged with assault with intent to kill five Congressmen were held as the government prepared to present evidence to a Federal Grand Jury Wednesday. Andres F. Cordero, 29, and Irving Flores, 27, from New York City, joined two others as security precautions were tightened at the Capitol, White House, and key buildings. The attack prompted renewed calls for stronger security and debates over Puerto Rico’s status and independence.
