posted on: Jun 10, 2009

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), the nation’s largest Arab-American civil and human rights organization, is appalled by the shooting that took place earlier today at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. Federal law enforcement sources have confirmed that the suspect, James von Brunn, is a known white supremacist.

ADC National Executive Director Kareem Shora said, “This act of hate against the Holocaust Museum in our nation’s capital is revolting. Once again, ADC is consistent in condemning hate-motivated crimes and any attacks aimed at civilians no matter who the victims or the perpetrators may be. We commend the many law enforcement agencies that responded to this attack and glad to see the suspect apprehended in quick fashion.”
