The Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, reopens after a shooter killed two Israeli embassy staffers outside the museum last week.
Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, a couple, were gunned down after leaving an event at the museum on Wednesday night. The alleged attacker shouted “Free Palestine” after the shooting and told police, “I did it for Gaza.”
The museum reopens with a program memorializing Lischinsky and Milgrim.
Speakers at the event include the museum leadership, elected officials and local clergy.
The museum will reopen to the public today at noon.
