Security increases after D.C. attack

The New York Times City Room blog reports that sites of Jewish interest citywide — including Riverdale Temple and Riverdale Jewish Center — are under the increasingly watchful eye of the NYPD after a gunman identified as an 88-year-old white supremacist opened fire inside the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., fatally wounding a security guard.

The shooter was identified as James von Brunn, whom, according to The New York Times, attempted in 1981 to storm a board meeting of the Federal Reserve with revolver, a hunting knife and a sawed-off shotgun in order to take board members hostage.
