- Two staffers at Israel’s embassy in Washington, D.C., were shot dead outside the Capital Jewish Museum on Wednesday night.
- Social media footage showed the suspect shouting “Free, free Palestine” while he was led away. Police identified him as Elias Rodriguez, in his early 30s and from Chicago, and said he "implied" that he committed the crime.
- The victims were identified by the Israeli government as Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim.
- The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was outraged by the “horrifying antisemitic murder.”
- The FBI is investigating whether the shooting could be hate-motivated. U.S. and Israeli officials have condemned the attack as antisemitic.
