Police said a suspect was in custody after the shooting near the Capital Jewish Museum
A suspect is in custody after shooting dead two Israeli embassy staff outside a Jewish museum in Washington on Wednesday night.
The gunman, named by police as Elias Rodriguez, 30, of Chicago, approached a group of four people leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum and opened fire, killing Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim.
Metropolitan police chief Pamela Smith said the shooter had been pacing outside the museum, which is steps away from the FBI’s field office, before the shooting.
After killing the pair, who officials said were a couple, he walked inside, where event security detained him. The suspect yelled: “Free, free Palestine,” after he was arrested, police said.
You know not all embassy staff are ambassadors from Israel right?
You can work at an embassy and be a US citizen.
Which one of them was.
That’s even worse then. Not even the excuse of growing up there to fall back on. They chose to work there still.
So you condone the killing of a person because they happen to work somewhere?
Odd take but ok.
If you conveniently forget to mention where it is exactly they happen to work, of course it sounds silly.

Can we circle around to the nuance thing? These were Embassy staffers.
And whatever innocent or less implicated person who might have died in an attack such as this would be the fault of the Israeli state.
Nuance, it goes right over your head.
