WASHINGTON -- A gunman opened fire inside the Holocaust Memorial Museum in the nation's capital Wednesday, shooting and reportedly killing a security guard before other officers returned fire and shot the assailant, officials said.
WTTG, the FOX affiliate in Washington, has confirmed that the 39-year-old guard who was shot has died of his injuries after being taken to a hospital.
Police are now looking at an elderly man identified as James Von Brunn as the shooter, FOX News has learned -- though D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier would not confirm the identity of the suspect.
A man named James Von Brunn operates a white supremacist Web site, Holy Western Empire, that carries several anti-Semitic statements. A biography of Brunn posted on the site says he is a World War II veteran who served time in federal prison for trying to make a "citizens arrest" of Federal Reserve Board members in 1981.



Any way you want to look at this it is terrible. I pray for those that have shot. But I am amazed that the news is all over this white supremacy nut job, but will hardly mention the Muslim wing nut that killed a US solider at a recruiting office last week.

It seems the Left is attacking Conservatives blaming those who attended the
‘Tea Party's” for the cause of this attack, they need to remember that their number one President Obama wants to meet with another Holocaust denier, President Ahmadinejad.”
