White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said he told Obama about the shooting. Gibbs later told reporters he gave Obama the facts as they were known at the time, shortly after shots were fired. Gibbs says the White House was receiving regular updates from the FBI, Homeland Security Council and the Situation Room.”
President Obama's statements:
“I am shocked and saddened by today’s shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum," said in the statement released Wednesday night. "This outrageous act reminds us that we must remain vigilant against anti-Semitism and prejudice in all its forms. No American institution is more important to this effort than the Holocaust Museum, and no act of violence will diminish our determination to honor those who were lost by building a more peaceful and tolerant world."
“Today, we have lost a courageous security guard who stood watch at this place of solemn remembrance. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends in this painful time.”
