DENVER (CBS4) -- CBS4 has now learned at least four people are under
arrest in connection with a possible plot to kill Barack Obama at his
Thursday night acceptance speech in Denver. All are being held on
either drug or weapons charges.

CBS4 Investigator Brian Maass reported one of the suspects told
authorities they were "going to shoot Obama from a high vantage point
using a ... rifle ... sighted at 750 yards."

Law enforcement sources tell Maass that one of the suspects "was
directly asked if they had come to Denver to kill Obama. He responded
in the affirmative."

The story began emerging Sunday morning when Aurora police arrested 28-
year-old Tharin Gartrell. He was driving a rented pickup truck in an
erratic manner according to sources.

Sources told CBS4 police found two high-powered, scoped rifles in the
car along with camouflage clothing, walkie-talkies, a bulletproof
vest, a spotting scope, licenses in the names of other people and
methamphetamine. One of the rifles is listed as stolen from Kansas.

Subsequently authorities went to the Cherry Creek Hotel to contact an
associate of Gartrell's. But that man, who was wanted on numerous
warrants, jumped out of a sixth floor hotel window. Law enforcement
sources say the man broke an ankle in the fall and was captured
moments later. Sources say he was wearing a ring with a swastika, and
is thought to have ties to white supremacist organizations.

A third man -- an associate of Gartrell and the hotel jumper was also
arrested. He told authorities that the two men "planned to kill Barack
Obama at his acceptance speech."

That man, along with a woman, are also under arrest.

The Secret Service, FBI, ATF and the joint terrorism task force are
all investigating the alleged plot.

The U.S. Attorney in Denver has scheduled a news conference for
Tuesday afternoon.
