The suspect in Wednesday's shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum is James Von Brunn, an 88-year-old white supremacist from Maryland, two law enforcement officials told CNN.

Von Brunn served six years in prison on federal attempted kidnapping, assault and firearms charges after what he called a "legal, nonviolent citizens arrest" of members of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.

On his Web site, "Holy Western Empire," Von Brunn said he was "convicted by a Negro jury, Jew/Negro attorneys, and sentenced to prison for eleven years by a Jew judge."

Late news tonight indicates that the security officer involved in the shootout with Von Brunn died from his wounds.


Where in the world does this kind of hatred for our fellow man come from? I remind my wife and kids constantly that we are all cut from the same bolt of cloth. First an abortion doctor is cut down in his own church by a white supremest and now a security guard just trying to make a living and feed his family. Sad, very sad indeed.
