WaPo:

Medical care for the 89-year-old man accused in June's fatal shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Museum has cost the D.C. Department of Corrections just over $55,000.

James von Brunn, a white supremacist, was shot once behind the right ear by a museum guard after von Brunn entered the museum and allegedly shot another guard. Von Brunn did not appear in court for months because of his injuries. When he finally did, in September, he was in a wheelchair. Von Brunn's attorney has said he has trouble hearing and speaking as a result of being shot and is not able to walk.

The cost of his medical care, $55,050, was released by the D.C. Department of Corrections in response to a Freedom of Information request by The Associated Press. Details were not released on what kinds of treatment or services von Brunn received.
