WASHINGTON, Aug 16 (Reuters) - The man charged in a shooting at a conservative Christian lobbying group in downtown Washington told a guard "I don't like your politics" before wounding him, according to court documents filed on Thursday.
Floyd Lee Corkins II, 28, of Herndon, Virginia, also was carrying 15 sandwiches from Chick-fil-A, a fast-food chain, in Wednesday's shooting at the Family Research Council, an affidavit said.
The Family Research Council strongly opposes same-sex marriage and abortion, and Corkins had been a volunteer at a Washington gay and lesbian community center. Chick-fil-A's president has publicly opposed same-sex marriage.
Corkins' parents told FBI agents that Corkins "has strong opinions with respect to those he believes do not treat homosexuals in a fair manner," the affidavit from the FBI said.
In an initial court appearance, Magistrate Judge Alan Kay ordered that Corkins be held without bond and that he undergo a mental evaluation. A preliminary and detention hearing was set for Aug. 24.
Corkins faces a District of Columbia charge of assault with intent to kill while armed and a federal charge of interstate transportation of a firearm and ammunition.
Corkins appeared in court subdued and dressed in white prison garb, his hands behind his back when he stood to address the judge. He told Kay he had about ${esc.dollar}300 and no property, and was assigned a public defender.
The affidavit said Corkins entered the offices of the Family Research Council and was stopped at the door by a security guard, according to the affidavit.
A witness told FBI agents that Corkins "stated words to the effect of, 'I don't like your politics,'" i t said.
Surveillance camera footage showed that Corkins then pulled a Sig Sauer 9mm pistol from a backpack and shot the guard in the arm. The wounded guard wrestled the gun from Corkins and subdued him. A second guard called 911, the affidavit said.
Investigators recovered two more loaded magazines at the scene. They found another 50 rounds of ammunition and the Chick-fil-A sandwiches in Corkins' backpack.
The complaint said that Corkins lived with his parents. He had left their car at a Virginia subway station before the attack.
Corkins faces up to 10 years in prison for the federal weapons charge and from five to 30 years for the District of Columbia offense. (Reporting by Ian Simpson; Editing by Xavier Briand)
