Welcome to the lead. I'm Jake Tapper. You saw just now authorities giving an update on the investigation.

And to last night's horrific, deadly shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers, the suspect in that shooting has just been charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

He faces more charges. His first court appearance has just ended.

Here is what we know about this tragedy right now. Last night, as the Jewish Museum here

in D.C. hosted an event that was focused on bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza and other war-torn

areas, a group of people leaving the event, a gunman approached a group of people leaving the event,

and he opened fire on the group.

As he was detained, video shows him yelling, free, free Palestine.

The victims who were murdered are 26-year-old Sarah Milgram and 30-year-old Yaron Lashinsky.

They met through their work at the Israeli embassy. The Israeli ambassador said they were set to get engaged in Israel next week, and now

their families so tragically have to plan their funerals instead. The suspect is a 31-year-old

Chicago man who was not previously known to police.

It's unclear what, if any, connection he has to Washington, D.C.

Joining us now to discuss Andrew McCabe. He's a former Deputy FBI Director,

former Federal Prosecutor, Ellie Honig, joins us now as well.

Andrew, first of all, it's awful. Your reaction to the murder charges, do you expect

federal hate crime charges, terrorism charges to follow? You know, the prosecutors have a lot of

different options here. And hate crimes, particularly, it can be a very tough crime to charge.

You need really significant evidence of motive and intent.

And it appears that we have it here, but it's the kind of charge that you probably can expect

the prosecutors to take a little time, spend a little time reviewing the evidence that they've collected.

They are referring to it as an act of anti-Semitic violence, and they are referring to it as terrorism.
