WASHINGTON D.C. – Senator Andy Kim released the following statement condemning the fatal shooting at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC: 

“I was just on the floor of the Senate when I heard the horrific news of a shooting outside the Capital Jewish Museum in DC that took the lives of two Israeli Embassy staff members. This attack must be strongly condemned. 

“Having worked in diplomacy and in embassies abroad before, I am further disgusted by the targeting of embassy personnel on American soil. My heart goes out to the families of the victims, the Israeli embassy staff, the American Jewish Committee who hosted the event, and others who were present.”
