Fox News:

An FBI affidavit in the investigation of a shooting Wednesday at the downtown Washington, D.C., offices of the Family Research Council says the accused gunman uttered a statement to the effect of, "I don't like your politics," before reaching into a backpack for a handgun and opening fire.

Floyd Lee Corkins II, of Herndon, Va., 28, is charged with assault with intent to kill, in addition to federal firearms charges.

Corkins was wearing a white prison jumpsuit and showed no visible emotions or reactions at federal court Thursday.

When the judge asked if the 28-year-old could afford a private attorney, Corkins responded that he only had $300 to his name. The judge assigned a public defender.

He was ordered to be held without bond and a detention hearing was scheduled for next Friday. Prosecutors also asked for a mental evaluation.

Leo Johnson, an unarmed building operations manager, is being lauded by D.C. police as a hero for stopping and disarming Corkins before he could get into the building.

Surveillance video shows Johnson interacting with Corkins before he allegedly opened fire, striking Johnson in the arm. The security guard managed to wrestle Corkins to the ground and disarm him before he could get inside the group's offices.

"The security guard here is a hero, as far as I¹m concerned," D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said. "He did his job. The person never made it past the front."

Sources told Fox News that after Johnson disarmed Corkins, the gunman said: "Don't shoot me, it was not about you, it was what this place stands for."
