The man, who authorities say shot an unarmed security guard while trying to get inside the conservative Family Research Council in August, has been indicted on new charges, including committing an act of terrorism, according to D.C.’s U.S. attorney’s office.

Prosecutors said the superceding grand jury indictment unsealed Wednesday against Floyd Lee Corkins II is the first time a suspect has been charged under the District’s Anti-Terrorism Act of 2002. Corkins could be sentenced to up to 30 years in prison on that charge alone.

The 28-year-old Corkins, who is from Herndon, Va., pleaded not guiltyin August to a federal charge of transporting a firearm and ammunition across state lines and D.C. charges of assault with intent to kill while armed and possession of a firearm during a violent crime.

The suspect, who is being detained, was previously scheduled to appear in court for a status update on Friday, and a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office said Corkins will most likely be heard on the new counts as well.

Corkins’ attorney, David W. Bos with the Federal Public Defender’s Office, declined to comment on the new charges.

Thursday’s indictment charges Corkins with seven additional crimes — committing an act of terrorism while armed, attempted murder while armed, aggravated assault while armed, second-degree burglary while armed, and three counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence.
