The identities of both National Guard Members who were shot on the eve of Thanksgiving in Washington D.C. have now been both identified. In a press conference on Thursday morning U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro identified both of the National Guard members who were brutally shot just block away from the White House on Wednesday. The New York Post broke the story and provided the victims name: The second West Virginia National Guard member critically wounded in a cowardly ambush by an Afhgan refugee Wednesday has been identified as a newly sworn-in soldier. The brave guardsman was identified as 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom, US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said at a Thursday press conference. The second guardsman was previously identified as 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe. “Both Sarah and Andrew were sworn in less than 24 hours before they were shot on the street in Washington,” Pirro revealed. Both have undergone surgery and are in critical condition. They sustained the life-threatening injuries when Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, allegedly opened fire near the Farragut West Metro Station in Northwest DC in what’s being probed as a possible terrorist attack.

The suspect, identified as an Afghan national named Rahmanullah Lakanwal, drove across the country from his home in Bellingham, Washington, to DC, authorities say. “We immediately, with our law enforcement partners in the Metropolitan Police Department and the interagency, secured the scene, seized the weapon, sent in our Evidence Response Team immediately to collect evidence and started doing block-by-block canvases,” FBI Director Kash Patel said this morning. A firearm and other evidence were sent yesterday to the FBI laboratory in Quantico for analysis, Patel said.
