Danger Comes to a Museum

By , About.com GuideJune 10, 2009

Follow me on:

Our collective sense of safety was punctured once again yesterday when hate, armed with a rifle, visited the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.

A guard was killed and the attacker wounded as visitors ducked for cover when gunshots rang out.

Museums and violence. May it be a rare intersection.
