A 31-year-old Illinois man has been charged with two counts of murder after opening fire 21 times on a young couple exiting an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., late Wednesday, according to a criminal complaint, shooting the victims in the back and then firing again at the woman as she tried to crawl away.

Elias Rodriguez, the 31-year-old suspect in the shooting of two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, D.C., has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

"These horrible D.C. killings, based obviously on antisemitism, must end, NOW!" he said in a message on Truth Social.
