A tragic shooting occurred near the Capital Jewish Museum, claiming the lives of a couple who were aides at the Israeli embassy. The shooter, identified as Elias Gonzales, opened fire before being apprehended, expressing a chant that suggested an antisemitic motive. Victims Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky were preparing for an engagement trip to Israel. President Trump's reaction highlighted the antisemitism involved, calling for an end to such violence as a matter of urgency.
The shooter, alleged to be Elias Gonzales, of Chicago, waited outside the museum and approached several people who were leaving the event before opening fire on the two victims.
After the shooting, the gunman shouted 'Free, free Palestine' while being detained by museum security, underscoring the possible motivations behind the attack.
