“The preliminary investigation indicates that both victims were exiting an event at the Capitol #Jewish Museum located in the 500 block of Third Street Northwest when the #shooting occurred,” Smith said. “We believe the shooting was committed by a single suspect who is now in custody. Prior to the shooting, the suspect was observed pacing back and forth outside of the museum.”

After the shooting, Smith said that the suspect then entered the museum and was detained by event security.
