Two Israeli embassy aides were shot and killed outside an event in Washington

 Good morning. Two Israeli embassy aides were shot and killed outside an event in Washington. Trump criticized South Africa’s leader, Cyril Ramaphosa, in the Oval Office. And the government continues to deport migrants to countries they’re not from.

A DEADLY SHOOTING IN D.C.

Two young Israeli Embassy staff members were shot and killed at close range in downtown Washington last night. They were leaving a reception for diplomats at the Capital Jewish Museum. Here’s what we know about the shooting.

  • The suspect: A 30-year-old man is in custody. He approached four people, shot the two victims, then walked into the museum, where security detained him and he shouted “Free, free Palestine.”
  • The victims: Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim were about to be engaged. “The young man purchased a ring this week with the intention of proposing to his girlfriend next week in Jerusalem,” the Israeli ambassador said.
  • The response: Benjamin Netanyahu called the shooting a “horrifying antisemitic murder.” President Trump wrote on social media that the killings were based in antisemitism, adding: “Hatred and Radicalism have no place in the USA.”
