Two National Guard members were shot near the White House on Wednesday, leading to one fatality and one critical injury. The victims, Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe, were on patrol when they were ambushed. Beckstrom died the following day, while Wolfe is in critical condition. The shooter, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national, was apprehended after being shot four times during the incident. Lakanwal had previously worked with US forces in Afghanistan and entered the US in 2021 under a special immigration program. Following the shooting, President Trump announced the deployment of an additional 500 National Guard troops to Washington DC, citing the incident as an act of terror. The administration has also suspended immigration processing for Afghans and plans to review green cards issued to individuals from certain countries.
