A crazed gunman shouted 'Free Palestine' after he shot and killed two Israeli embassy staff members outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington D.C.
The suspect, identified as Elias Rodriguez, was pacing back and forth before allegedly opening fire on a group of four people who were standing outside the museum. Rodriguez then entered the building, where he was taken into custody.
Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon described it as a 'depraved act of anti-Semitic terrorism.'
He said: 'The shooting outside the event at the Jewish Museum in Washington – in which Israeli embassy employees were also injured – is a criminal act of anti-Semitic terrorism.'
'Attacking diplomats and the Jewish community is crossing a red line.'
The American Jewish Committee was hosting a Young Diplomats event at the museum on Wednesday night when the terror unfolded, CEO Ted Deutch confirmed.
Emotional photos show an onlooker draped in a Jewish flag as police cordoned off the area surrounding the shooting.
President Trump issued a statement late Wednesday night condemning 'hatred and radicalism' which led to the vicious attack.

Rodriguez? It just don't add up.
It would if he is from Argentina.
Simon Wiesenthal found a few of them there.
I thought someone had found some alive and well.
AOC, Tlaib, Omar, etc. Blood on your hands.
Place your bets on the number of the first post in this second thread about the murder of a Jewish couple in Washington, DC, that will be disparaging of Pam Bondi.
Place your bets! Place your bets! Place your bets!
A baker’s dozen (# 13) or less for the win.
What is a “Jewish flag”? Did they mean an Israeli flag?
I was going to raise the same point. The flag in the photo is, however, not the Israeli flag. There is a small red cross in the middle of the Star of David.
They did on the other thread, maybe 3rd post.
I wonder how many students and administrators of Columbia University will donate to the gunman’s legal defense fund.
Do I win anything for that?
In fact, the whole demonrat party has blood on their hands.
Whatever the number, it’ll be too many.
My guess was # 13 or less... your post is # 11. I guess I can claim a win, but I couldn’t have done it without your help, so I would be remiss if I did not also recognize the poster of record (you) as a winner.
[ Do I win anything for that? ]
How about all the pressure one bears in an obligation to donate to Free Republic’s current funding drive is temporarily lifted from your conscience for the next 30 days?
‘hatred and radicalism’, which we also call Leftism.
Not many people know that President Trump’s son Eric was subpoenaed 112 times during the use of lawfare by the deep state blob!
The gloves are off. Pam Bondi is President Trump’s pick. Justice is coming.
Wiesenthal tracked down nearly 1,100 war criminals including Eichmann. Many in Argentina and Brazil. Living the free life down there until caught.
There is some seriously brainwashed people. Rodriguez didn’t want to be upped by Columbia University students. His family needs to be doxed.
This would be my first mention of AG Bondi, in any context. I don’t see it as disparaging....just an observation. I think she’d be a fool to repeat such an act, for reasons laid out in your post #16. The country is now likely host to organized terror cells, from many countries. Couple that with the growing threat of homegrown Assassination Culture and I think it wise to go above and beyond to shield high-value, high profile personnel. The next target will likely be more important than Kristi Noem’s purse.
