As Cohen waited, an elderly man with a long gun assaulted the hospital, fatally shooting a security guard before being wounded by the other guards. Cohen and Langhart were not wounded, and they appeared on CNN that afternoon to share what they had seen and react to the shooter's racial convictions. James W. von Brunn, 88, of Annapolis, was described as a long-core" white supremacist whose Internet books contained extensive critique of Jews and African Americans.
