President Trump invited the families of two National Guard members, Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe, to the White House after they were shot in Washington D.C. last week. Beckstrom, 20, was killed, while Wolfe, 24, remains hospitalized in critical condition. Both were serving with the West Virginia National Guard as part of a federal initiative supporting policing efforts in D.C. A 29-year-old Afghan national has been charged in the shooting, which prompted the Trump administration to suspend asylum processing and temporarily halt visas for Afghan passport holders. Vigils have been held in West Virginia to honor Beckstrom, with funeral arrangements pending.
