Two Israeli Embassy Staff Killed in Washington Shooting

Two employees of the Israeli embassy were shot dead in close proximity to the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington. The shooting occurred late Wednesday evening, with a third person sustaining injuries.

Details of the Incident

The shooter, identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez from Chicago, was apprehended at the scene after shouting 'Free Palestine'. The motive behind the attack is suspected to be antisemitic terrorism, as condemned by Israeli officials.

Authorities reported that the assailant did not attempt to flee and was subdued inside the museum following the shooting. The victims, part of a group attending a Young Diplomats event, were targeted as they exited the building.

Reactions and Political Context

President Donald Trump expressed dismay over the attack, denouncing it as a heinous act of antisemitism. The incident comes amidst escalating tensions in the US due to anti-Israel protests, particularly on college campuses.

Law enforcement believes the shooting was carried out by a lone individual, with investigations ongoing to determine the full circumstances surrounding the tragic event.
