Shooting at National Holocaust Museum

88 year old white supremacist shoots and kills 39 year old security guard Stephen T. Johns.

D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said the suspect was acting alone when he entered the museum just before 1 p.m. Wednesday, raised his rifle and began shooting. The suspect started shooting before going through metal detectors.

"The second he stepped into the building he began firing," Lanier said.

As Lileks accurately observes: "The fact that the Holocaust Museum has several armed guards tells you why we need a Holocaust Museum." How unfortunately true.
