Ethiopian Diplomat Leaves US After Firing Gun at Embassy in Washington
4:05PM Friday
October 3, 2014
(WASHINGTON) -- An Ethiopian diplomat who fired a gun at his country's
embassy earlier this week left the United States, the U.S. State Department
said.
The U.S. initially requested that Ethiopia waive the individual's
diplomatic immunity so that he could be prosecuted in the U.S, State
Department spokesperson Jen Psaki said. Ethiopia reportedly denied that
request, prompting the U.S. State Department to ask the diplomat to leave
the country.
No further details about the shooting or the individual were provided.
