President Barack Obama

President Barack Obama expressed shock and sadness after an attack on the US Holocaust museum which killed at least one man on Wednesday, saying the killing underscored the need to counter prejudice.

"I am shocked and saddened by today's shooting at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. This outrageous act reminds us that we must remain vigilant against anti-Semitism and prejudice in all its forms," Obama said in a statement.

"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."
