At least two shot at Holocaust Memorial Museum

 

At least two people were shot Wednesday at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, the Associated Press is reporting.

Washington police spokeswoman Traci Hughes said a person walked into the museum about 1 p.m. with a rifle and shot a guard. Hughes said the shooter was also shot. Hughes said the conditions of those shot were not known. Both were being rushed to a hospital.

CNN is reporting that the shooter was an 88-year-old white supremacist.

U.S. Park Police told the Associated Press that three people had been shot. Fire department spokesman Alan Etter told CNN a third person was hurt after being cut by broken glass.
