The two West Virginia National Guardsmen who were shot in Washington, DC on Thursday remain hospitalized and in critical condition, but are receiving “the finest medical care,” US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that the two victims of the horrific assault by an illegal alien terrorist were identified.
On Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, two National Guardsmen were shot in Washington, DC, in a terrorist attack that some Democrats are now blaming on President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops in DC.
The suspect was identified as 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a Biden illegal alien from Afghanistan, who entered under Biden’s “Operation Allies Welcome” program following the disastrous 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal.
US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro responded to accusations that Trump is responsible during the press conference, saying, “We ought to kiss the ground and thank God” that President Trump sent troops to DC to save American lives and stop the rampant violence. She further told reporters that the terrorist would face first-degree murder charges if the troops do succumb to their injuries.
Pirro gave an update this morning on the two victims, who she identified as 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom, an Army Specialist, and 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe, an Air Force Staff Sergeant.
WATCH:
With respect to their medical condition, as I said, they’re receiving the finest medical care. Their families are with them now. They are critical. I think you understand the meaning of that. It’s not clear, you know, how this is going to end up, but let me be perfectly clear about how it will end up in this office.
If one of them is to pass, and God forbid that happens, this is a murder one period, end of the story. We are praying on a day like today, when families come together in America, and they hold hands around the Thanksgiving table, I beg you, I beseech you, to pray for these two young people that they survive.
