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).
