WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum is reopening Friday after a day of mourning for a guard killed in an attack that authorities say was carried out by a rifle-toting white supremacist.
There were few signs of the shooting left outside the museum Friday ahead of a scheduled 10 a.m. opening. Crime scene tape was gone and the bullet-scarred front door had been replaced.
About two dozen flower bouquets and a photo of 39-year-old guard Stephen T. Johns formed a makeshift memorial outside one corner of the museum.
Authorities have charged 88-year-old James von Brunn with murder in the Wednesday attack.
Police said von Brunn remained in critical condition early Friday at a Washington hospital. He was shot in the face in an exchange of gunfire with other guards.
