This appears to be the first publicly released image of Elias Rodriguez, the shooter who murdered two Jewish victims outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, in a targeted antisemitic attack Wednesday  night.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has long criticized Israel and its policies, said she is “devastated” by the antisemitic terror attack in Washington, DC, that claimed the lives of two Israeli embassy staffers.

The first victim identified in tonight’s terror attack in Washington, DC, is Yaron Lischinskyb HY”D, a research assistant for Middle East & North African Affairs at the Israeli Embassy. Originally from Germany, he made Aliyah at the age of 16.

In response to tonight’s terrorist shooting in Washington, DC, NYC Mayor Eric Adams has directed the NYPD to bolster security at Jewish sites across New York City.

AG BONDI: “I spoke to the President tonight—his prayers are with the Jewish community and all agencies working to keep D.C. safe. We’ll follow the facts and the law. If charged, this defendant will be prosecuted to the fullest extent.”

Two employees from the Israeli embassy were fatally shot outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., this evening. One of those killed was confirmed to be a member of the Israeli diplomatic staff.
Barak Ravid of Axios reported on X that the two victims were embassy staffers and had been shot at point-blank range. His report cited a spokesperson from the Israeli embassy as the source.
The attack took place just outside the museum during an event hosted by the American Jewish Committee, drawing heightened concern due to the nature and location of the incident.
ABC News reported that the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force is spearheading the investigation into the shooting, indicating that authorities are treating the case with the utmost seriousness.

Statement from the Israeli Embassy in Washington DC: “Two staff members of the Israeli embassy were shot this evening at close range while attending a Jewish event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington DC. We have full faith in law enforcement authorities on both the local and federal levels to apprehend the shooter and protect Israel’s representatives and Jewish communities throughout the United States.”

After an all-night session, House Republicans managed to move the massive One Big Beautiful Bill Act past the Rules Committee late Wednesday, setting the stage for a vote by the full House.
The committee, controlled by the GOP, approved the sweeping legislation in an 8–4 vote just before 11 p.m., with members divided strictly along party lines.
The session had begun at 1 a.m. that morning to comply with the rule granting Democrats two full days to submit their dissenting views before final consideration.
During the final stretch of debate, a Manager’s Amendment was introduced. This revision included numerous last-minute changes to the bill, among them a provision significantly raising the cap on State and Local Tax (SALT) deductions by 400%.

Two staff members from the Israeli Embassy were fatally shot outside the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night, in a violent incident that has sparked a sweeping investigation by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force. According to law enforcement officials, a man opened fire outside the museum just after 8 p.m., shouting “Free Palestine!” as he began shooting. The museum was hosting a private event for Israeli diplomats at the time. The gunman was quickly detained by responding officers. The names of the two victims—both employees of the Israeli Embassy—have not yet been publicly released, pending notification of their families. Initial reports also indicated others were injured in the attack, though the extent of their injuries remains unclear.
