At approximately 12:50 p.m. on June 10, 2009, 88-year-old James Wenneker von Brunn entered the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., with a slide-action rifle and fatally shot Museum Special Police Officer Stephen Tyrone Johns. Other special police officers returned fire, wounding von Brunn, who was apprehended.^[1]^[4]^[5]^[6]

Von Brunn was charged in federal court on June 11, 2009, with first-degree murder and firearms violations.^[7] On July 29, 2009, von Brunn was indicted by a federal grand jury on seven counts.^[8] Included in the indictment were three hate crime charges, as well as four charges which made him eligible for the death penalty.^[9]^[10] In September 2009, a judge ordered von Brunn to undergo a competency evaluation to determine whether or not he could stand trial.^[11] On January 6, 2010, von Brunn died of natural causes while awaiting trial.^[12]

Von Brunn was a white supremacist, Holocaust denier, and neo-Nazi. He had previously been convicted of entering the Federal Reserve Building with various weapons in 1981 and attempting to place the members of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, who he considered to be treasonous, under citizen's arrest.^[6]^[13]
