The U.S. vice president visited the Israeli Embassy in Washington to honor Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, killed in a May 21 shooting.
U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance visited the Israeli Embassy in Washington on Tuesday to honor Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, two embassy staffers killed in a terrorist attack outside the Capital Jewish Museum on May 21.
Milgrim, 26, a Kansas native, and Lischinsky, 30, a German-Israeli citizen, were fatally shot after attending a diplomatic reception. The suspect, Elias Rodriguez, shouted pro-Palestinian slogans during his arrest at the scene and is facing federal charges.
The attack, which officials say is being investigated as a hate crime, drew immediate condemnation from both Israeli and U.S. leaders.
