As police noted, he walked back and forth in front of the museum, then approached a group of four people who had exited, pulled out a gun and fired. The attacker then went inside the museum, where he was apprehended by security.
By the time the services arrived, the injured were unconscious and not breathing and could not be saved.
Subsequently in custody, the detainee shouted a slogan for a “free Palestine.”
Israeli Ambassador to the US Yehiel Leiter said that those killed were a couple and were going to get engaged next week, traveling to Jerusalem to do so. The ambassador also said he spoke with US President Donald Trump after the shooting.
Attorney General Pam Bondi personally arrived on the scene and said she spoke to Trump about the incident.
“On behalf of the president, I convey that his prayers are with us and the entire Jewish community,” she said.
