Two men, including a security guard, were shot Wednesday at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington.
A man with a shotgun entered the museum shortly before 1 p.m. and opened fire on a security guard near the metal detectors at the facility’s entrance, according to media reports. The security guards returned fire and the gunman was wounded.
Both men have been transported to a local hospital. Their conditions are not yet known. A third man was reportedly injured by shattered glass and treated at the scene.
No information was yet available about the shooter or his motive. The museum has been evacuated.
