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 ever heard the saying "don't blame children for the crimes of their parents" or something like that?

Is that similar to the saying "don't sign up to work for genocidal governments and expect to live a long and fulfilling life?"

If you think local governments or state governments are equivalent to the national one, you need a refresher.

These people worked for the national government. They also publicly voiced support for genocide.

Nobody said anything about the employees children.

They are talking about the crimes of the employees.
