Police have appointed the only suspect in the deadly shooting on Wednesday night of two members of the Israeli embassy staff in Washington, DC.
It was observed that the suspect, identified as Elias Rodríguez, 30, or Chicago, walked outside the Jewish Capital Museum before the shooting.
He allegedly entered the institution after the murder and was arrested for the security of the event, said Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith, but not before shouting: “Free and free Palestine” as arrested, as Breitbart News reported.

AP reports that it was not clear immediately if Rodriguez had a lawyer who could comment on his.
A telephone number listing in public records occupies an unanswered place.
“These horrible DC murders, obviously based on anti -Semitism, must end, now!” President Donald Trump posted on social networks on the early Thursday in response to shooting.
“Hate and radicalism do not take place in the United States.”
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said security would now realize Israeli embassies worldwide.
“I have instructed to improve security arrangements in Israeli missions worldwide and increase the protection of state representatives,” he said.
“We are witnessing the terrible price of anti -Semitism and wild incitement against the state of Israel.”
