was an 88-year-old man with links to the white supremacist movement, U.S.
media reported.
Fox News, NBC and CNN all said the gunman had been identified as James von
Brunn, a Maryland resident, who has long been tied to hate groups and
anti-government organizations and served a prison sentence for taking a gun
into the Federal Reserve.
The gunman and security guard were taken to a hospital with gunshot wounds,
a police spokesman said. A third person was slightly wounded, possibly by
breaking glass, but did not need further treatment.
While the motive for the shooting remained unclear, Fox and NBC television
reported that its correspondents had been told the gunman was 89 years old
and may have links to a white supremacist organization.
