Ambassador Leiter: The couple murdered tonight were about to get engaged. He bought her a ring to give it to her next week in Jerusalem. We are strong people.

Eyewitness Yoni Kalin tells FOX5 about the capture of the shooter in Washington: "I saw someone running, the security guard let him in, apparently he thought he was a victim. He was covered in rain and was in shock. Some people gave him water. He asked them to call the police. 10 minutes later the police arrived and he said 'I did it', said he was unarmed, took a red keffiyeh out of his pocket and started shouting 'Free Palestine, Intifada revolution'"
