3. SOUNDBITE (English) Nir Barkat, Israel Minster of Industry:
"They were killed because they were Jews and because they’re Israelis. Here, they were going to get married back home in our city, Jerusalem. And there’s no excuse in the world for creating terror, targeting innocent people like this, the world must wake up and collaborate together against terror and the roots of the terror."

"Everyone must understand that terror is not just an Israeli challenge, it’s a global challenge. And if it happens here in Washington, it could happen anywhere around the world. And we must all unite to combat terror together. We must never allow something like this to happen, not here in Washington, not nowhere in the world."
5. Police on scene
STORYLINE:
Two people shot and killed outside a Jewish museum in Washington were young staffers at the Israeli Embassy who were soon to be engaged. The suspect shouted “Free Palestine” as he was being arrested.

"Everyone must understand that terror is not just an Israeli challenge, it’s a global challenge and if it happened here in Washington, it can happen anywhere around the world," Nir Barkat, the Israel Minster of Industry said at the scene.

Israel identified the victims as Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, without giving their ages. They were leaving a young diplomats event at the Capital Jewish Museum when they were killed on Wednesday.

Lischinsky had bought an engagement ring and was just days away from proposing to Milgrim on a planned trip to Jerusalem, according to Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter.
