As previously mentioned, Elias Rodriguez arrived from Chicago and attacked Israeli Embassy employees Yaron Lischinsky (30) and Sarah Lynn Milgrim (26), firing 21 shots while Milgrim attempted to escape in fear.
The two were reportedly set to get engaged next week. It’s an almost unimaginable crime.
On Thursday, Pirro announced that Rodriguez may pay the ultimate penalty (as he absolutely should):
What we know:
The individual in question is Elias Rodriguez, aged 30. He was apprehended on Wednesday night and appeared in court for the first time on Thursday afternoon. Rodriguez will be held in detention until a preliminary hearing scheduled for 1 p.m. on June 18.
Rodriguez has been accused in D.C. District Court of the assassination of foreign officials, causing death with a firearm, and shooting a weapon during a violent act. Additionally, he faces two charges of first-degree murder according to the D.C. penal code. Pirro mentioned the possibility of the death penalty for Rodriguez.
