Statement on shooting at Capital Jewish Museum

Jewish Federations of North America are horrified at the reported murder of two people outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC.

Our hearts go out to the victims and to our colleagues at AJC, whose event was being held at the museum.

We are working closely with the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington and our security partners to monitor the situation, gain a fuller picture of what transpired, and keep our communities informed.

The safety and security of the community is our top priority and we will not rest until that safety is fully restored.
