FBI: Painting of Hitler and Jesus found in apartment of accused Holocaust museum shooter

Hitler, Jesus art in alleged museum shooter’s home

WASHINGTON — Authorities have taken more than 30 items, including an image of Hitler and Jesus, from the home of a white supremacist accused of fatally shooting a security guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

The FBI searched the Annapolis, Md., apartment where 88-year-old James von Brunn lived with his son and son’s fiancee.

FBI Special Agent Christy Shaffer says in a document obtained Tuesday that officials seized computers, disks, a handwritten will, a rifle and ammunition. The final item listed is a “painting of what appears to be Hitler and Jesus.”

Von Brunn faces a first-degree murder charge in the death of 39-year-old Stephen T. Johns, who is black. Von Brunn was shot in the face by guards who returned fire and remains hospitalized. FBI officials have said he is likely to survive.
