Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim worked for the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C.
This weekend, they were slated to go to Jerusalem — Milgrim was to meet Lischinsky's family for the first time. According to Israeli ambassador Yechiel Leiter, Lischinsky had bought a ring and was planning to propose.
Instead, they were gunned down outside an event at the Capitol Jewish Museum on Wednesday night.
The killing comes aside a rise in antisemitic incidents. Daniel Shapiro, a former U.S. ambassador to Israel, reacts to the news.
