US National Guard soldier Specialist Sarah Beckstrom has died after being shot near the White House on Wednesday, President Donald Trump confirmed. She and Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfewere attacked in Washington DC, allegedly by 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who is now in custody. Lakanwal, who reportedly entered the US in 2021, is being investigated by the FBI on possible terrorism charges. Speaking on the incident, Trump displayed an image of a crowded plane of evacuees, claiming only the “toughest and meanest” individuals arrived in America. Criticising former President Joe Biden, he described the situation as “total bedlam” and said, “We have no greater national security priority than controlling who enters and remains in our country. For the most part, we don’t want them.” Washington DC Shooting: US Suspends Afghan Immigration Requests After Targeted Attack on National Guardsmen in Capital City.
