A U.S. Air Force spokeswoman and Stafanek confirmed that the man was an active duty airman, officers with the U.S. Secret Service extinguished the fire outside the embassy in northwestern Washington, said Vito Mojilo, a spokesman with the city's fire department. The man was taken to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries and remains in critical condition.No embassy staff members were injured and all were accounted for, according to Tal Naim, a spokeswoman for the embassy. The man appeared to have filmed the protest and live-streamed it on the social media platform Twitch at the time that the police said they responded to the incident. In a video of the incident, obtained and reviewed by CNN, the man identifies himself as Aaron Bushnell and says, I will no longer be complicit in genocide before going on to say that what he's about to do is minimal compared with the suffering of Palestinians that he then sets the recording device on the ground before pouring an unknown liquid over himself and igniting it while yelling free Palestine repeatedly. He eventually collapses as police officers rush to douse the flames with fire extinguishers, Rose Riley, a spokesperson for the U.S. Air Force, told CNN, I can confirm an active duty airman was involved in incident. By the time firefighters were dispatched to the scene, the fire had already been extinguished by the U.S. Secret Service. The man was transported by capital fire to a local hospital and remains in critical condition. I am an active duty member of the United States Air Force, and I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I'm about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it's not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.
