The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum has reopened after a day of mourning for a guard authorities say was killed in an attack by a rifle-toting white supremacist.Hundreds of people lined up to enter Friday and the first visitors were allowed in shortly after 10 a.m.
There are few signs of the shooting left outside the museum. The crime scene tape is gone and the bullet-scarred front doors have been replaced.
About two dozen flower bouquets and a photo of 39-year-old guard Stephen T. Johns form a makeshift memorial outside one corner of the museum.
Authorities have charged 88-year-old James von Brunn with murder in the Wednesday attack.
Police say von Brunn remains in critical condition. He was shot in the face by other guards.
