During a routine check-up Nov. 16 at a Spartanburg Veteran's Administration clinic, Michael Bowden was asked by a primary care nurse if he had any suicidal thoughts to which he responded, "yes, I would like to shoot the president and then myself," as shown in a Secret Service affidavit taken by Agent Mark Booth.
Bowden, who had been rated "positive" during a suicide screening in April, was then seen by a mental health nurse who followed up asking the same question.
He said he "was thinking of traveling to Washington, DC, to shoot the president because he is not doing enough to help African-Americans," the affidavit states.
Agent Booth and two other agents went to Bowden's home in Woodruff, S.C., where he lives with his wife and son, and after Bowden was read his rights, the sworn statement says, he replied, "if I had the opportunity to put Obama against the wall and shoot him, I would. I would kill, if possible, the president for what he has done to this country."
Agents searched Bowden's home and found three fully-loaded semi-automatic handguns and a semi-automatic rifle near his bed. They also found 12 other guns in the bedroom of Bowden's son along with a loaded, short-barrel shotgun near the home's front door, the Smoking Gun reported Wednesday.
