DC museum shooting live: Suspect will be HIDDEN from cameras as he appears in court for murdering two

A man suspected of shooting dead a young Israeli diplomat couple is expected to be hauled in front of a judge Thursday afternoon to face the music after allegedly opening fire outside the Capital Jewish Museum on Wednesday night.

Elias Rodriguez, 30, yelled ‘free, free Palestine’ after he allegedly shot Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim as they left an event at the museum.

Rodriguez allegedly posted a manifesto online calling for ‘armed demonstration’ as a response to the ‘genocide’ in Gaza, hours before approaching a group of four people and opening fire, Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith said.

In the alleged manifesto posted online before the slayings, Rodriguez said: Public opinion has shifted against the genocidal apartheid state, and the American government has simply shrugged, they’ll do without public opinion then, criminalize it where they can, suffocate it with bland reassurances that they’re doing all they can to restrain Israel where it cannot criminalize protest outright.’

It was also revealed Thursday that Rodriguez was once quoted in an uber-woke want about racism in Chicago at a Black Lives Matter protest in 2017.

Following his arrest on Wednesday night, the FBI said he was interrogated at 1am, and Rodriguez is set to make his first court appearance later on Thursday – where he is not expected to be seen by the public as federal prosecutors hide him from the cameras.
