Just interrupted Rush to say that three people had been shot outside the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC.
You know how unstable those Amish and centerfuel tanks are.

No, he entered, shot a guard, other guards returned fire, thus the 2 shot, one victim, one perp. The third victim was injured by flying glass.
bump!
It’s on Drudge, now.
WASHINGTON - At least two people are wounded after a shootout at the U.S. Holocaust Museum in Southwest Washington Wednesday afternoon, D.C. police assistant Chief Diane Groomes told ABC 7 News.
Groomes said one person was shot inside the building and one person was shot outside. A third person may have been wounded.
D.C. police spokeswoman Traci Hughes says a person walked into the museum with a rifle and shot a guard. Hughes says the shooter was also shot.
Hughes says the conditions of the people who were shot were not immediately known. Both were being rushed to a hospital.
Groomes said one person was in custody; it’s unclear if she was referring to the wounded gunman.
The museum normally has a heavy security presence with guards positioned both inside and outside the museum. All visitors are required to pass through metal detectors at the entrance, and bags are screened.
The museum, located just off the National Mall near the Washington Monument, is a popular tourist attraction. It draws about 1.7 million visitors each year.
ABC 7 News has multiple crews on the scene.
Waiting to see if the same bloggers who blamed O’Reilly for the Tiller shooting will now blame Obama’s Jew-baiting speech for this violence.
WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) — Shortly before 1 p.m., a person walked up to the Holocaust Museum at 14th and Independence Avenue with a rifle. The suspect then opened fire on the security guard at the entrance, and the guard returned fire.
