FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said on social media that “early indicators are” that the shooting of two Israeli Embassy staffers was “an act of targeted violence.”

The two victims of the attack, who have been identified as Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, were shot following an event at the museum on Wednesday.

A suspect in the fatal shootings of two members of the Israeli Embassy near the Jewish museum in Washington, D.C., has been identified as Elias Rodriguez of Chicago.

The museum, located 1.3 miles from the White House in Washington, D.C., is in a busy part of the city packed with federal offices and museums.

The man and the woman were shot dead outside the Capital Jewish Museum near Penn Quarter, Washington DC, and police have warned members of the public to avoid the area
