WASHINGTON - AUTHORITIES have taken more than 30 items, including an image of Hitler and Jesus, from the home of a white supremacist accused of fatally shooting a security guard at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum.

The FBI searched the apartment where 88-year-old James von Brunn lived with his son and son's fiancee.

FBI Special Agent Christy Shaffer says in a document obtained on Tuesday that officials seized computers, disks, a handwritten will, a rifle and ammunition.

The final item listed is a 'painting of what appears to be Hitler and Jesus'. Von Brunn faces a first-degree murder charge in the death of Stephen T. Johns, who is black. Von Brunn was shot in the face by guards who returned fire. FBI officials have said he is likely to survive. -- AP
