A man opened fire inside the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington Wednesday, killing a security guard before being shot. The museum is the largest repository of artifacts relating to Nazi Germany's plan to exterminate the Jews. It is among the most popular museums in Washington DC. As VOA's Kent Klein reports, local officials say the gunman, who has an anti-semitic website, is in critical condition.
