The man accused of shooting a guard at Washington's Holocaust museum has died, said his lawyer and prison officials.
A lawyer for James von Brunn, public defender A.J. Kramer, confirmed the death, NBC News reported. A government official told the Associated Press the 89-year-old man died in a prison hospital.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the case, said von Brunn died at a federal complex in Butner, North Carolina.
Von Brunn had been awaiting trial for the killing of security guard Stephen T. Johns at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum on June 10. Von Brunn had been wounded by return fire but survived.
Officials at the prison hospital had previously said chronic medical problems had complicated a psychiatric evaluation for the suspect, a white supremacist who prior to the shooting had written racist and anti-Semitic screeds on the Internet.

I try not to wish death on people. But I gotta admit, sometimes you just gotta say, good fucking riddance.
