Holocaust Museum Shooting
On the afternoon of June 10, 2009, Langhart was on her way to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for the premiere of her one-act play, Anne and Emmett, which had been promoted the week before in the Washington Post and presented in honor of the eightieth anniversary of Anne Frank's birth. Langhart's husband, William Cohen, was at the museum waiting when 88 year-old James Wenneker von Brunn fatally shot a security guard before being shot himself by the other guards. Langhart and her husband were not injured, and appeared on CNN that afternoon to describe what they had seen.
