Descrição:

Federal authorities on Thursday charged Elias Rodriguez with first-degree murder, the murder of foreign officials and other crimes in the fatal shooting of two Israeli Embassy employees in Washington, D.C.

Rodriguez was arrested after gunfire erupted outside an event at the Capital Jewish Museum on Wednesday night. The victims — Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, 26 — worked for the Israeli embassy and were a young couple about to be engaged, according to Israel's foreign ministry. The suspect faces both federal and local murder offenses.

At a press conference on Thursday, Jeanine Pirro, the interim U.S. Attorney in DC, said she plans to also investigate the attack as a hate crime and an act of terrorism.
