He used a .22 rifle.

I think this sums up the even pretty well:

Authorities say the shooter, James von Brunn, was an avowed racist and anti-Semite well known to the pustular netherworld of white supremacy and to those who monitor it. He believed the Holocaust a hoax and America a "Third-World racial garbage dump." He believed this, even at 88 years of age. "It's time to kill all the Jews," he wrote in one e-mail. And can you imagine what might have happened had he managed to shoot his way past the guards?

Apparently he fatally wounded one security guard and was then quickly shot by other security guards. Good riddence to bad rubbish as they say.
