Police said a suspect was in custody after the shooting near the Capital Jewish Museum
A suspect is in custody after shooting dead two Israeli embassy staff outside a Jewish museum in Washington on Wednesday night.
The gunman, named by police as Elias Rodriguez, 30, of Chicago, approached a group of four people leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum and opened fire, killing Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim.
Metropolitan police chief Pamela Smith said the shooter had been pacing outside the museum, which is steps away from the FBI’s field office, before the shooting.
After killing the pair, who officials said were a couple, he walked inside, where event security detained him. The suspect yelled: “Free, free Palestine,” after he was arrested, police said.
These deaths are also on the people who demand to globalize the intifada.
You say that like it’s a bad thing
Do you think these murders help Palestinians?
Certainly more than protesting and sending letters to your representative while you vote for the (soc) dems.
What have you done to help palestinians? Bought some falafels?
During the last month, I have introduced real life Israelis and Palestinians to each other. I have helped two Palestinians deal with German bureaucracy.
That’s the most recent stuff. A complete list would take too long to write down.
"Yeah so welcome to germany. We sent bomb to murder your children but anyway, let me show you how to pay your taxes. Also sorry about your wife
