Two Israeli embassy staffers were shot and killed outside an event in Washington, D.C., around 9 p.m. Wednesday night, according to local and federal officials, by a suspect who appeared to target them in what many Jewish leaders are calling an antisemitic attack.

Police say the sole suspect, identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez of Chicago, is in custody. Prior to the shooting, he “was observed pacing back and forth outside of the museum,” said Pamela A. Smith, chief of police for the Metropolitan Police Department.
“He approached a group of four people, produced a handgun and opened fire, striking both of our decedents. After shooting the suspect, [he] then entered the museum, and was detained by event security.
“Once in handcuffs, the suspect identified where he discarded the weapon, and that weapon has been recovered and he implied that he committed the offense. The suspect chanted, ‘Free Palestine’ while in custody,” she said.

Yoni Kalin, who was at the event, told Fox 5 DC that he heard gunshots and then, “I did see somebody run in. The security guard happened to let this guy in. I guess they were thinking that he was a victim, and he was covered in rain. He was clearly in trauma. He was in shock. Some of the people at the event brought him water. They sat him down. ‘Are you okay? Were you shot? What happened?’
“And he’s like, ‘Somebody call the cops, bring the cops in.’ So about 10 minutes later, when the cops actually came in, he said, ‘I did this.’ He said, ‘Sir, I’m unarmed.’ He put his, put his hands up, he grabbed a red kaffiyeh out of his pocket and started the ‘Free Palestine’ chant.”
Kalin said that the suspect continued yelling “Free Palestine” as he was being dragged out of the building. “I tried to hand his kaffiyeh back because I didn’t really realize that he murdered two people,” he said.
Another witness, Paige Siegel, told Jewish Insider that the suspect also said, “I did it for Gaza.” Siegel told the publication that she “saw security footage of Rodriguez shooting the female and identified the shooter as the same individual.”
