Two staff members of Israel’s Embassy in Washington, D.C., were shot dead outside the district’s Capital Jewish Museum, officials said.
“Two Israeli Embassy staff were senselessly killed tonight near the Jewish Museum in Washington DC. We are actively investigating and working to get more information to share. Please pray for the families of the victims,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on X.
Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations called the act a “depraved act of anti-Semitic terrorism.”
More than likely, the suspect was not Muslim; his last name is Elias Rodriguez, a 30 year old male from Chicago.
