A Maryland man was so distraught and troubled by the Orlando shootings that he crashed his car through a gate at CIA headquarters in Langley early Monday, his mother said.

NBC News reports that Thomas Luu, 35, of Rockville, crashed through the gate in a Ford Focus just after 2 a.m.

Investigators said Lue told agents he wanted to get the CIA’s attention but wouldn’t say why.

Luu’s mother said he was angry about the shooting and disappeared overnight.

Investigators wrote in their court filing, “The chain link fence is approximately eight feet tall with another one-and-a-half feet of barbed wire, and covers the two outbound lanes of travel. The gate is clearly marked with a sign that notifies visitors that it is closed; there also are ‘no trespassing’ signs in the immediate area.”

Lou is being held in federal custody while he faces a federal charge of damaging government property.
