The suspect was identified as
James von Brunn (wow!), an 88-year-old white supremacist from Maryland, two law enforcement officials told CNN.
Gunfire at the entrance of the museum wounded at least two people Wednesday, emergency officials said.
A private security guard and the shooting suspect were wounded, according to officials of the Washington police.
Sgt. David Schlosser, a spokesman for U.S. Park Police, told reporters a man armed with a "long gun" entered the museum at 12:50 p.m. and fired at a security officer, and both were wounded in the exchange of gunfire.
"My understanding is that two other security officers at the museum returned gunfire at the man that had entered the museum," Schlosser said. Watch Schlosser tell what's known so far »
Schlosser said he didn't know exactly what kind of firearm the man had and whether the shooting was before or after he passed through a metal detector.
