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.

One of them was found on twitter rabidly defending this genocide. They work at the embassy. They're defending this genocide as part of their job. They're directly part of trying to erase this genocide.

So you think that only the people pulling the trigger deserve death but the people trying to cover it up don't? That's a remarkable viewpoint
