A gunman opened fire outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. Wednesday night, taking the lives of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, a soon-to-be-engaged couple who worked at the Israeli embassy.   “The couple that was gunned down tonight in the name of ‘free Palestine,’ was a young couple about to be engaged,” according to Yechiel Leiter, the Israeli ambassador to the U.S.   Lischinsky had just purchased a ring and planned to propose to Milgrim in Jerusalem next week. “They were a beautiful couple,” Leiter said.  The suspect entered the museum following the shooting and shouted, “Free, free Palestine” as authorities arrested him.   #BREAKINGVideo shows the moment that Elias Rodriguez was taken into custody in Washington DC.Elias is 30 years old and from Chicago.
