Two staff members at the Israeli embassy in Washington are shot dead near a Jewish museum.

The shooting took place late Wednesday outside the Capital Jewish Museum, which was hosting an American Jewish Committee event at the time of the incident.

US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced the deaths in an X post, saying, “We are actively investigating and working to get more information to share.”

The suspect, identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriquez of Chicago, Illinois, “chanted 'Free, free Palestine,’ while in custody,” she added.

    These days Israel is publicly bombing Hamas government officials for the crime of being in their finance ministry and nobody bats an eye. They are bombing journalists inside of hospitals for doing journalism and it is a-ok.
