Jewish Museum where Israeli embassy couple were shot dead outside had just received grant for extra security
The Capital Jewish Museum where two Israeli embassy employees were gunned down leaving an antisemitism event had just days earlier announced a huge new grant to help with its security concerns. Yaron Lischinsky, 28, and Sarah Milgrim — who were due to be engaged next week — were gunned down in the street as they left the American Jewish Committee's ACCESS Young Diplomats Reception at the museum in Washington, DC just after 9 p.m. Wednesday. The museum had announced earlier this week that it had just received more than $30,000 from the city to help offset security costs due to safety concerns — both as a Jewish organization and due to a new LGBT-focused exhibit. 3 A man with an Israeli flag draped around his shoulders kneels in the middle of the street outside the Capital Jewish Museum near a DC Police car at the scene of the deadly shooting. REUTERS Museum Director Executive Director Beatrice Gurwitz told NBC Washington on Monday that money would help pay for security guards 'to make sure that everybody is safe and that we are prepared in the event of an emergency.' 'Jewish institutions all around town, all around the country, are concerned about security due to some very scary incidents that some institutions have faced and because of a climate of antisemitism,' Gurwitz continued. 'So, we invest a lot of money in security to make sure that we can keep our doors open to the broad public, that this is a welcoming space, but that people are also safe in this space.' The couple had just left the venue on 575 3rd St NW, near the FBI field office and the US attorney's office when suspected gunman Elias Rodriguez opened fire on a group of four people outside the museum, according to DC Police. Rodriguez ditched the gun and ran inside the museum, where he admitted to the shooting, cop said. He shouted 'Free, Free Palestine' as he was being arrested inside the building. 3 Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were gunned down in the street as they left the American Jewish Committee's ACCESS Young Diplomats Reception at the museum just after 9 p.m. Wednesday night. @yaron_li/X 3 Elias Rodriguez, the suspect gunman is arrested by police after the shooting. @ Wednesday's event at the museum was the AJC's largest annual gathering that brought together Jewish young professionals between the ages of 22 and 45, and diplomatic community, according to the event listing. The theme of the sold-out reception was 'turning pain into purpose' and would focus on humanitarian diplomacy and navigating a response to the humanitarian crises in the Middle East and North Africa.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the horrifying moment a motorcyclist smashed head on with a fellow biker while overtaking in the rain. Distressing dashcam footage shows Kathryn Goff, 52, riding along the A3052 Sidford to Colyton, in Devon.

As she comes to the front of the vehicle, an oncoming motorcyclist appears through the rain. Goff's Kawasaki bike smashes head on with the Honda motorcycle. Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed the rider had to have their leg amputated as a result of the horror. Meanwhile Goff, of Milton Road in Exeter, appeared at Exeter Crown Court for sentencing on Friday. She pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving and was sentenced to 20 months in prison. Goff will also be disqualified from holding a licence for four years. Officer in the case, Alan Kennedy from the Serious Collisions Investigation Team, said: 'Kathryn Goff's actions on the day of the collision resulted in an injury which has changed the life of another motorcycle rider. "This was a totally avoidable collision. 'Goff's riding fell far below the standard expected of a road user and the decision to perform the overtake was made even worse by the poor weather conditions at the time. Seven hurt in horror three-car crash as casualties fighting for life are flown to hospital and road closed 'We hope this case will serve as a reminder that every manoeuvre can have tragic consequences.' This comes after other horror road accidents have been captured on camera across the country. A Ford Transit ploughed head first into two cars after driving the wrong way on an A-road. Horrifying dashcam footage shows the vehicle hurtling down the A30 Sherborne Road, in Yeovil, Somerset. It then smashes straight into an oncoming red Toyota Yaris, causing debris to fly across the carriageway. The Yaris is pushed onto the other side of the road, as a Volkswagen Polo unavoidably crashes into them both. Emergency services rushed a man and woman, both in their 20s, to hospital with serious injuries following the smash. A man in his 60s was also transported to hospital by air ambulance with serious injuries. Cops later charged Benjamin Charles Foster, 35, in relation to the incident. Elsewhere, dramatic footage captured the moment a driver barreled into oncoming traffic after his dodgy bid to overtake a lorry backfired. Norman Chai from Woking, Surrey, was sentenced for causing a serious road collision that left four people with severe injuries. And this is the moment a Lamborghini worth £200,000 crashed into an oncoming car in a posh leafy village. The black Huracan was driving through an affluent Cheshire village before the collision.
