what has happen to Aaron Bushnell? A US airman has died after setting himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington DC. The man was identified by police as Aaron Bushnell, 25, of San Antonio, Texas. In a widely circulating video the man identified himself as Aaron Bushnell. The Post reported that the Air Force has confirmed that the protestor was an active-duty airman, though he refused to discuss his identity or rank. In the beginning of the clip Bushnell says his name is Aaron Bushnell, according to footage circulating online. In the video that was live streamed on Twitch the officer dressed in US uniform stood outside the Israeli embassy gate and identified himself as a member of the US Air Force. He was heard shouting – “I will no longer be complicit in genocide [in Gaza]. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest,” the man apparently said before setting himself alight and repeatedly shouting “Free Palestine!” Authorities at the scene could be heard asking “May I help you, sir?” and yelling at the man to get down on the ground while he was on fire, the footage showed. One person sprayed the man with a fire extinguisher, while another appeared to draw his gun. The graphic video was immediately removed from Twitch for violating guidelines but a blurred version of its recording widely spread on social media.

DC Fire and EMS initially said in a post on X on Sunday that it transported an adult male in critical condition to an area hospital after being dispatched at 12:58 p.m. to an incident outside the Israeli embassy, where it found the fire had already been extinguished by U.S. Secret Service members on the scene. Secret Service spokesperson Joe Routh told TIME in a statement that officers of its uniformed division responded to what appeared as “an individual that was experiencing a possible medical / mental health emergency.” Embassy spokesperson Tal Naim told media outlets that no embassy personnel were injured. MPD told TIME that it is working with the Secret Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to investigate the incident. MPD said in an earlier post on X that it also investigated a suspicious vehicle near the scene but that no hazardous materials were found. Spokespersons for the U.S. Air Force confirmed to CNN, the New York Times, and the Washington Post that the man who set himself on fire, prior to his public identification, was an active-duty airman.
