Lee Zeldin had met with Sarah Lynn Milgrim, who was shot and killed Wednesday, just two weeks before her death
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin expressed his sorrow over the tragic shooting of Israeli Embassy staffers in a recent social media post. The incident took place as Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, both employees of the Embassy of Israel to the United States, were shot and killed after leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C.
Zeldin, who had met with Milgrim just two weeks prior to the shooting, took to social media to share his grief. He described Milgrim as a young woman filled with life and positivity, expressing his shock and sadness at her untimely death at the hands of what he called a “Jew-hating radical.”
The fatal shooting of the Israeli Embassy workers has sparked outrage from various quarters, including former President Trump and Israeli President. The incident has been deemed a possible hate crime by the FBI, who are currently investigating the matter.
The tragic loss of Milgrim and Lischinsky, a couple who were set to be engaged, has left a deep impact on those who knew them. Zeldin shared a picture of himself with Milgrim from the day they met, highlighting the bright and promising future that was cut short by senseless violence.
Lischinsky, who was born in Israel and raised in Germany, came from a diverse background with a Jewish father and Christian mother. The shooter, identified as Elias Rodriguez from Chicago, was apprehended by authorities as he shouted slogans in support of Palestine. The FBI is treating the incident as an act of terror, reflecting the gravity of the situation.
As the investigation continues into this tragic event, the memories of Sarah Lynn Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky will be cherished by those who knew and loved them. Their lives were taken far too soon, leaving behind a legacy of love and compassion that will never be forgotten.
