http://voices.washingtonpost.com/livecoverage/sections/metro/

MSNBC is reporting that name of susupect is James Von Brunn, a white supremacist, born 1920. There is no official confirmation of this yet.

11. So he could be a WWII vet
But which team did he play for?

Von Brunn? It's certainly a possibility that he once swore allegiance to a guy with an ugly haircut and a funny mustache.

18. Visiting his site, I saw a connection between him and a former Navy admiral
named John G. Crommelin, another white supremacist asshole:

http://www.nytimes.com/1996/11/12/us/john-g-crommelin-94-dies-vocal-critic-of-navy-policies.html

(snip)
In later years, he operated part of his family plantation, named Harrogate Springs, in Elmore County, raising a variety of crops. He also ran unsuccessfully for various public offices. He was a candidate in the Democratic Presidential primary in New Hampshire in 1968 and also repeatedly announced himself as a candidate for the United States Senate. The National States Rights Party, advocating white supremacy, nominated him for Vice President in 1960.

In retirement, Admiral Crommelin became known as a supporter of Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, Republican of Wisconsin, and also as an avowed anti-Semite who was active in segregationist circles. It was reported in 1960 that he was a self-styled ''white man's candidate'' for public office and called Jews the real enemy of ''white Christian Alabamians,'' asserting that they controlled the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
