WASHINGTON — A federal grand jury indicted an elderly white supremacist Wednesday on charges that could earn him the death penalty in the fatal shooting of a security guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington.
Hate-crime charges were added to the case against James von Brunn, who has been in a hospital since the shooting last month.
Officials say the 89-year-old shot and killed museum guard Stephen T. Johns on June 10. Von Brunn was shot in the face by other guards but survived. Among other charges, the indictment accuses von Brunn of seeking to intimidate Jewish people at the museum.
