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.

      You pay taxes? Then you too are part of the apparatus and deserve death by some even more radical’s reasoning.

        There is a massive difference between your taxes going to support Israel’s genocide unwillingly, and voluntarily joining the genocide apparatus.

        I agree, some people have little choice. Fortunately, I personally left America and no longer pay taxes so I don’t have to be part of that. Not everyone can do that.

        People who actively join the government and support Israeli efforts should be held accountable. I also have no sympathy for ICE agents in the US either.
