2 staff members of Israeli embassy in DC killed in shooting near Jewish museum
Two staff members of the Israeli Embassy in Washington were shot and
killed Wednesday evening while leaving an event at a Jewish museum,
and the suspect yelled, "Free, free Palestine" after he was arrested,
police said.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar identified the victims as Yaron
Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim. Lischinsky was a research assistant, and
Milgrim organized visits and missions to Israel. Israeli Ambassador to
the U.S. Yechiel Leiter said the two people killed were a young couple
about to be engaged. The suspect, identified as Elias Rodriguez, 31,
of Chicago, was observed pacing outside the museum before the
shooting, Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith said at a news
conference.
