Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi Statement on the Shooting at the Capital Jewish Museum

WASHINGTON – Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi issued the following statement on last night’s shooting at the Capital Jewish Museum:

“I am heartbroken and outraged by the horrific violence that took place last night at the Capital Jewish Museum, which claimed the lives of two members of the Israeli embassy staff. As we continue to learn more, my deepest condolences are with the victims’ families, the survivors, and all those affected by this senseless tragedy. In this time of grief, I stand in solidarity with the Jewish community in Washington and across the country. No one should ever have to fear for their safety while gathering in a space of culture, memory, and reflection.

Antisemitism must be confronted with zero tolerance, and we must remain united in our commitment to ensuring that all communities are safe from violence and hate.”
