The man accused of fatally shooting two staff members of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C. outside a Jewish museum has been indicted on federal hate crimes charges, according to court documents unsealed Wednesday.
Elias Rodriguez is accused of gunning down Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim as they left an event at the museum in May. He was heard shouting “Free Palestine” as he was led away after his arrest. He told police, “I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza,” federal authorities have said.
