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.
Ah yes, because pirates blow shit up instead of taking it and selling it for personal gain.
Also, pretending like the Houthis situation is 100% independent of the Genocide in Gaza is disingenuous.
Israel has been an antagonist in the region for much of its existence. I’m sure the Houthis would take any excuse to fuck with Israel. However, their official line recently is basically “We’re going to fuck with shipping until you lift the blockade on Gaza.”
Oh, so just terrorists. That’s much better than being pirates. /s
Dumb ass take.
Ah, yes, terrorist. I can see now. I envy you and your simple, nuance free worldview. Just use that magic word and it all makes sense. No need to consider any other factors - they are terrorists so obviously you just kill them, right?
The Houthis, financed and supplied by Iran, a known terrorist group sponsoring nation, who is fighting a proxy war with Israel?
Those Houthis? Shut up dumbass.
… you do notice the fallacies here, right?
I’m giving up.
Judging by most of their comments, they aren’t interested in anything other than feeling right and upsetting anyone who disagrees.
Yeah, I had a quick check of their post history after replying. They’re like that on all topics, not just politics, every post calling someone else a ‘dumbass’ etc… They’re banned from this comm now for consistent lack of civility, props to the mods for that.
