The shooting of a security the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum by an elderly gunman, believed linked to an anti-Jewish website, has been called an "extremely isolated incident" by Washington mayor.

"I think this is an extremely isolated incident," Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty said.

"In these days and times you never know when someone is going to grab a gun and use it in an inappropriate way as was done today."

The suspect in the shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum on Wednesday that left one guard dead has been identified as James von Brunn, an 88-year-old white supremacist from Maryland, two law enforcement officials told CNN.

The man has been linked to a website that expresses anti-government and anti-Jewish sentiments.

What is the most important conclusion from the Sofia Mayor elections on November 15, 2009?
That the ruling party GERB of PM Borisov continues to be hugely popular, whereas the Socialists are pretty much out.

That the decline of the Socialist Party has stopped whereas the ruling party GERB has failed to attract the expected very high number of voters.

That the Sofia residents are either completely disillusioned with politics, or care little about who is Mayor.

That the record-high jackpot of the Bulgarian State Lottery "Toto" generated much greater interest than the Mayor elections.
