White supremacist Holocaust Museum shooter to be charged with murder

Houston, Texas (CaymanMama.com) – The white supremacist shooter who created a scene of sheer panic at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial and Museum on Thursday will be charged with murder, officials confirmed.
Holocaust denier James von Brunn, 88, shot and killed security guard Stephen T. Johns after Johns opened the door to let von Brunn enter the museum, District Police Chief Cathy Lanier said at a news conference.
Von Brunn, who previously attempted to kidnap members of the Federal Reserve, then engaged in gunfire with guards who shot and critically injured him, preventing the shooter from coming into the museum and shooting anyone else, Lanier said.
The museum was shut down and flags flew at half-staff Thursday in honor of the fallen guard, 39. Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty said swift measures by law enforcement “literally saved the lives of countless people.”
An artist, advertising mind and author residing in Annapolis, Md., von Brunn penned an anti-Semitic treatise, “Kill the Best Gentiles,” spoke of “the browning of America” and talked of his plans to expose a Jewish conspiracy “to destroy the White gene-pool.”
“It’s better to be strong than right,” he wrote on a post online, “unless you like dying. Crowds hate good guys.”
Von Brunn will be formally charged with murder and killing in the course of possessing a firearm at a federal facility, both coming with the highest capital offenses under federal law, and authorities said hate crime charges were also possible.
