The suspect has been detained and identified by police as 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez.

The Israeli embassy said the two staff members were shot "at close range" while Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar called it a "shocking terrorist attack."
United States President Donald Trump has condemned the act.

"Condolences to the families of the victims. How sad that such things can happen! God bless you all!" Trump wrote.
