‘Just stunned': Montgomery County leaders react to deadly shooting of Israeli Embassy staffers in DC
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. () – Leaders in the Montgomery County Jewish community are devastated after a outside of the Capital Jewish Museum in D.C. on Wednesday night. 'I think everybody who I've spoken to and myself, is just stunned,' Ron Halber, CEO of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington, said. 'The lives of a beautiful couple that was getting ready to get engaged was cut down short simply because they were Jewish and they decided that was a good enough reason to kill them.' 'Death penalty eligible case': Suspect charged in shooting that killed two Israeli Embassy staff members, officials say Halber said he didn't know the couple, but he knows their supervisor. 'They were both interested in peace work and making the world a better place and had such a wonderful, promising future,' he said. Halber said there has been a significant rise in acts of hate and antisemitism across the country for several years. 'I think people are more concerned than they were yesterday, and how can you blame them?' he said. The Montgomery County Department of Police (MCPD) hopes to alleviate some fears by increasing patrols around Jewish institutions. 'We will continue our operations in that until such time that we can feel confident that our community feels a little bit better,' MCPD Assistant Chief Darren Francke said. 'Act of terrorism': DMV, world leaders react to fatal shooting of couple working at Israeli embassy in DC Halber said he's thankful for MCPD's support but knows a more concrete security plan will be needed. 'One of the things that we're doing is trying to hire private armed security and that requires spending millions of dollars a year collectively,' he said. MCPD's increased patrols are expected to last at least through the end of the week. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
