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.

The man who got shot had an active Twitter account. Very stand-up guy. Such a shame he got killed.

Won't find me weeping for an active defender of genocide being put in the cemetary.

shooter’s manifesto. this will be spun as some anti-semitic bs when its clearly a desperate last act given the crackdown on peaceful protests and our politician bribed enough by aipac not giving a fig about them even when public opinion is overwhelming against israel.

no one deserves death for others actions but an israeli delegate is much more complicit than those helpless children and other innocents getting butchered everyday by israel.

these rich brats had a choice to be not part of the ongoing genocide or even make a stand. the children and families without water and food trapped in gaza have no choice other than to be target practice for idf scum

Holy shit. This is insanely profound. Not dehumanizing his targets but acknowledging their humanity and therefore, their responsibility and the gravity of the thing he is about to do.

This wasn't a raving mad man stabbing or shooting the nearest, most Jewish looking person, this seems to have been a targeted shooting.

Good. Hopeful more happens to zionist scum in the future.

They need to be afraid to walk the streets.

This is HORRIBLE! Doesn't he know you're ONLY allowed to Murder CHILDREN and BABIES otherwise you're ANTI SEMETIC!

They will spin this off for anti semitism. Nothing to do with genocide in Palestine. Thank God for whoever invented the cameras in cell phone that we could see the massacre around the world. Imagine how bad it was before smart phones were invented.
