A man armed with a "long gun" entered the Holocaust Museum this
afternoon and fired at a security guard, and then was shot by two
other security guards, according to the United States Park
Police.
In a press briefing that aired on Fox News Channel, Sergeant
David Schlosser of the U.S. Park Police said that both the gunman
and the guard who was shot were rushed to George Washington
University Hospital. The shooting occured at about 10 minutes to
1 p.m.
Schlosser said there was no evidence of another shooter in the
building, but they have shut down the museum and are searching
just to be sure.
UPDATE: Shooting suspect
identified as white supremacist James Von Brunn, born in 1920
(so either 88 or 89 years-old).
Thank God there was an alert and brave guard on duty. I pray he
heals well.

Yes yes yes!!!!! Immediately tie any shooter who is white to the
mythical "white supremacists" or (as it was described on
MSNBC.com) "anti-government" groups.
However, go back and re-read the accounts of the muslim who prior
to shooting 2 soldiers in Little Rock went to Yemen, met with
radical imams, and was being watched by the FBI. He was
IMMEDIATELY cleared of any connection to "terrorist" groups.
Hmmmm. Did we ever find out what was in HIS house? Wonder
why?????
The conspiracy continues~~~

My thoughts & prayers go out to the guard's family, as it was
just released that he passed away. I can only hope that the
gunman shares his fate & hurries off to stoke the fires of
hell with the rest of the murderers & Jew haters.

Gee, as a white male i had almost overcome the negative
stereotypes surrounding my ethnic background ( you know, nazi,
depriver of women's 'choice' etc) and now the media comes out
with this insensitive coverage.
