National Guardsman 'slowly healing' after being shot in Washington DC

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

National Guardsman Andrew Wolfe is recovering from a critical head wound sustained in a November 26th shooting in Washington D.C., where he was stationed as part of a deployment initiated by President Trump. Wolfe and another guardsman, Sarah Beckstrom, were shot in what authorities describe as an ambush. Beckstrom died from her injuries. Wolfe's parents report he is slowly healing and beginning to look more like himself, though he is expected to remain in acute care for several weeks. Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national and former counterterrorism soldier, has been charged with first-degree murder and assault with intent to kill in connection with the shooting. The Trump administration has cited the shooting as justification for increased immigration restrictions, including canceling citizenship ceremonies for immigrants from certain countries.
