Two Israeli embassy employees were shot dead outside the Jewish Museum in Washington.

The shooter is a 30-year-old Chicagoan named Elias Rodriguez. According to officials interviewed by local media, a man was seen walking near the Jewish Museum in Washington before opening fire, hitting a man and a woman. The suspect reportedly shouted “Free Palestine” during the arrest.

"These horrific murders, obviously based on anti-Semitism, must stop, NOW!", wrote US President Donald Trump on Truth. "Hatred and radicalism - he added - have no place in the United States. Condolences to the families of the victims. It is so sad that things like this can still happen. God bless you all!"

“The deadly shooting outside the Jewish Museum in Washington is a depraved act of anti-Semitic terrorism ,” Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, told X, adding that “harming the Jewish community is crossing a red line.” “We are confident that U.S. authorities will take strong action against the person responsible for this criminal act,” he concluded. “Israel will continue to act with determination to protect its citizens and representatives, everywhere in the world.”
