A: Hey there! Guess what happened last night?
B: Not a clue, what's up?
A: Two Israeli embassy staff were shot and killed in Washington near the Capital Jewish Museum!
B: Oh no, that sounds serious! Who did it?
A: They say a 30-year-old suspect is in custody. The victims were leaving an event at the museum when they got shot. The guy even went into the museum after that but was caught.
B: Wow, that's terrible. Any word on why this happened?
A: Well, the police chief said the suspect shouted "Free, free Palestine" while in custody.
B: Hmm... that sounds like it could be related to some conflict over there.
A: Yeah, seems so. The President Trump posted about it online too. He called it an act of antisemitism and said hatred and radicalism have no place in the US.
