Suspect Elias Rodriguez, 31, allegedly shouted “Free, free Palestine” after the Wednesday night's deadly shooting at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington D.C.
The authorities said the shooter was motivated by opposition to the war in Gaza when he killed two young Israeli Embassy employees in Washington.
The statement was signed by groups representing the Orthodox, Conservative and Reform movements as well as other major organizations.
Several Jewish organizations and Chicago officials held a press conference Friday to condemn the fatal shooting of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, Israeli Embassy staffers, on Wednesday night as they were leaving an event at a Jewish museum.
Investigators have seized writings that they believe belong to the suspect as they search for a motive in the fatal attack.
