Authorities have said Rodriguez had expressed deep anger toward Israel before approaching people leaving a “Young Diplomats Reception” at the Capital Jewish Museum last May and opening fire.
Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, 26, a couple who had met while working for the Israeli Embassy in D.C., were both killed.
In court papers, officials have said Rodriguez fired about 20 shots at them. During the shooting, they alleged, “he called out, ‘Free Palestine.’”
