The man accused of shooting two Israeli Embassy staff members outside a Jewish museum in Washington has been indicted on federal hate crimes charges. The indictment against Elias Rodriguez was unsealed Wednesday and includes nine counts, including hate crime resulting in death. It also could clear the way for the Justice Department to potentially seek the death penalty. Rodriguez is accused of killing Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim in May, reportedly shouting “Free Palestine” during his arrest. Prosecutors say Rodriguez planned the attack, flying from Chicago with a handgun. Witnesses described him pacing outside before opening fire. He allegedly confessed inside the museum afterward.

The shooting of five U.S. Army soldiers at a base in Georgia is the latest in a growing list of violent incidents at American military installations over the years. Some shootings have been isolated incidents between service members. But others have been attacks on bases or mass-casualty events. A 2009 shooting at Ford Hood in Texas by an Army pyschiatrist left 13 people dead. It was the deadliest attack on a domestic military installation in U.S. history. Wednesday's shooting in Georgia occurred at Fort Stewart. Authorities said the shooter has been taken into custody. The conditions of the victims were not immediately released.

Police say the man facing charges that he killed the parents, grandmother and uncle of an infant found left in a western Tennessee yard last week has been arrested. Austin Robert Drummond was taken into custody Tuesday after a search that put a community along the Mississippi River on edge amid several unanswered questions surrounding the July 29 quadruple homicide. Dyer and Lake counties District Attorney Danny Goodman shed some light on the investigation in an interview with The Associated Press, saying the family members were fatally shot and identifying the infant as a girl, who is now safe in the other relatives’ custody.
