### Tragic Shooting Near Capital Jewish Museum Claims Lives of Israeli Couple

A devastating incident unfolded late Wednesday near the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, where a young Israeli couple, who were soon to be engaged, were tragically shot dead. The couple had just left an event hosted by the American Jewish Committee when the unthinkable occurred.

Eyewitnesses report that the gunman, who chanted "Free, free Palestine" following the shooting, opened fire as the couple exited the museum. Both victims were found unconscious and not breathing at the scene, according to D.C. Police Chief Pamela A. Smith, who provided details during a news conference held a few hours after the incident.

Authorities have confirmed that both victims were staff members of the Israeli Embassy. The identities of the victims and the gunman have not yet been released, and the motive behind this heinous act is currently under investigation.

The community has been left in shock and mourning as they come to terms with the violent act that ended the lives of two promising young individuals. The American Jewish Committee has yet to provide a statement regarding the incident.
