A white supremacist is the suspect in a shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Museum.

A gunman armed with a shotgun walked into the U.S. Holocaust Museum in downtown Washington today and opened fire on a security guard before being shot and seriously wounded himself by at least one other guard, authorities said.

The security guard and the gunman were both transported to George Washington University Hospital with serious injuries, police said.

Sgt. David Schlosser, a spokesman for the U.S. Park Police, said the security guard and the gunman were apparently the only two persons who were shot. Initial reports said at least one other person sustained gunshot wounds.

U.S. Park Police said a gunman armed with a shotgun opened fire on the security guard and that other security guards returned fire. The gunman was reported wounded.

Fox News is reporting the suspected shooter’s name: James W. von Brunn. If this is the guy, here’s his vile antisemitic website (it probably won’t be online much longer — this link is to the Google cache of the page): Holy Western Empire.

Von Brunn is a Nirther — here’s an article he wrote, posted at Free Republic: Obama is missing!

And he was a member of the “Ron Paul for President” group at Yahoo: HITLER’S WORST MISTAKE: HE DIDN’T GAS THE JEWS.

Free Republic deleted their copy of Von Brunn’s Nirther article; here’s the Google cache. Update: the page is back at Free Republic, but I’ll leave the Google cache link here for now.

With the Tiller shooting and now this — the DHS report that caused such an uproar has been vindicated.

The report was a heads-up to law enforcement, warning of a risk of increased attacks from right wing extremists, and with two attacks in two weeks (in addition to the cop killer in Pittsburgh, the white nationalist with components for a dirty bomb, the plot by skinheads to assassinate Obama, and more) it looks like the heads-up was well warranted.
