At least two people were shot after a man opened fire inside the national Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., Wednesday, officials said.
The suspect has been arrested, according to a law enforcement source.
Reports said the suspect first shot a security guard, and that another guard returned fire, wounding the alleged shooter.
There are conflicting reports about how many people were wounded. Another law enforcement official said three people were shot, but that there are no fatalities.
"The scene is secure," the source said.
Police and other law enforcement, including the FBI's Terrorism Task Force, are surrounding the museum site.
The Holocaust Museum is a popular tourist destination, located south of the National Mall and near the Washington Monument.
Wanna bet the Bastard was a muslim? Lets see obama justify that!
Yep, I just can't see an Israeli shooting up his own museum.
Oh wait. It's probably is one of those Right Wing, gun loving, abortion doctor shooting skinheads.
Now hearing the shooter is, get this, 89 years old! Of course they're saying he's anti-semitic (ya think?) The guards shot him, supposedly in the head.
I wouldn't even want to guess what this fellows motives might be. I strongly suspect that he is unbalanced and crazy people do crazy things. So it is very hard for us sane folks to figure out what a crazy person is thinking, now if you can it might mean that you too are nuts.
So I will hold off guessing what this loon was thinking.
Sounds like the situation was well handled with a minimum about of damage done to all given the danger of the situation. I do believe that an ' atta boy ' might becoming to the guard who stopped the old timer.

the shooter will probably live--due to the poor shooting of the other guards:cool:
The shooter is a white WWII PT boat vet.
I just heard that the guard died. Here is an article on the shooter.
