3 Dead in Suspected Hantavirus Outbreak on Cruise Ship in Atlantic Ocean: WHO

The two National Guard members shot in Washington, DC, are in critical condition and have undergone surgery, US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro said this morning during a press conference.

Pirro identified the victims of yesterday’s shooting as Sarah Beckstrom, 20, and Andrew Wolfe, 24. Both are members of the West Virginia National Guard who were deployed in DC.

Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, began Guard service on June 26, 2023, and was assigned to the 863rd Military Police Company, 111th Engineer Brigade, West Virginia Army National Guard, a news release states.

Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, joined the Guard on February 5, 2019, and was assigned to the Force Support Squadron, 167th Airlift Wing, West Virginia Air National Guard.

Beckstrom, of Summersville, West Virginia, and Wolfe, of Martinsburg, West Virginia, had been deployed in the nation’s capital since August when the mission there began, according to the Guard.

“We pray for their well-being as they continue to be cared for in the best possible way. We have been in constant contact with their families, and have provided them with every resource needed during this difficult time,” Pirro said.

FBI director Kash Patel said the shooting is being investigated as an act of terrorism. The suspect, 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was armed with a .357 Smith and Wesson revolver, according to Pirro.

“A lone gunman opened fire without provocation, ambush-style, armed with a .357 Smith and Wesson revolver. One guardsman is struck, goes down and then the shooter leans over and strikes the guardsman again. Another guardsman is struck several times,” Pirro said.

Other National Guard members who were at the scene “responded immediately,” Pirro added.

Lakanwal will be charged with three counts of assault with intent to kill while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, Pirro said. He faces 15 years under the assault with the intent to kill charge.

The charges are subject to change depending on the well-being of the wounded Guard members, according to Pirro.

“We are praying that they survive and that the highest charge will not have to be murder in the first degree,” she said, adding, “We will hold this perpetrator accountable under the full weight of the law.”

The suspect entered the U.S. in 2021 through Operation Allies Welcome, a Biden administration program that evacuated and resettled tens of thousands of Afghans after the U.S. withdrawal from the country, officials said.

Prior to his 2021 arrival in the United States, the suspect worked with the U.S. government, including the CIA, “as a member of a partner force in Kandahar,” John Ratcliffe, the agency’s director, said in a statement. He did not specify what work Lakamal did, but said the relationship “ended shortly following the chaotic evacuation” of U.S. servicemembers from Afghanistan.

His ties to the U.S. in Afghanistan are part of the ongoing investigation, Patel said.

“We are fully investigating that aspect of his background as well, to include any known associates that are either overseas or here in the United States of America,” he said.
