An active-duty member of the U.S. Air Force is in critical condition after setting himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in Washington on Sunday, according to authorities.

The Metropolitan Police Department said officers responded to the scene to assist the U.S. Secret Service "after an individual set themselves on fire in front of an embassy in the block." The man was transported to an area hospital with critical, life-threatening injuries.

The Washington Fire and Emergency Medical Services also responded to the embassy call and the fire was extinguished by the time Fire and EMS personnel reached the embassy at approximately 1 p.m., public information officer Vito Maggiolo said.

"I will no longer be complicit in genocide.”

While on fire, he repeatedly yells “Free Palestine.”
