2 People Shot at U.S. Holocaust Museum
A gunman armed with a shotgun walked into the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in downtown Washington today and opened fire on a security guard before being shot and seriously wounded by two other guards, authorities said.
2 People Shot at U.S. Holocaust Museum The security guard and the gunman were both transported to George Washington University Hospital with serious injuries, police said. A hospital spokesperson declined to release information on the condition of the two.
A third person sustained minor injuries in the shooting, according to police.
A law enforcement source identified the gunman as James W. von Brunn, who is known to authorities as a white supremacist.
Sgt. David Schlosser, a spokesman for the U.S. Park Police, said the security guard and the gunman were the only two persons who were hit by gunshots. Initial reports said at least one other person sustained gunshot wounds.
He said the museum has been "completely secured and evacuated."

We don’t welcome anti-semitic Aryan Nation nuts here,and we zot them as soon as they are detected.
Trying to pin this event on FR is assinine.

I still don’t know the name or condition of the second soldier. Weird.

Prayers up for the brave museum guard who acted heroically in stopping this maniac.
Prayers for his family, as they start their long vigil at his bedside.

The suspect is James von Brunn, an 88-year-old white supremacist from Maryland, two law enforcement officials told CNN.

Look for the mods to crack down hard on stuff like this. Also look for the left to try to finger us.
