President Donald Trump announced that U.S. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, died.
Beckstrom is one of two National Guardsman shot in D.C.
I must unfortunately tell you that just seconds before I went on right now, I heard that Sarah Beckstrom of West Virginia, one of the guardsmen that we’re talking about, highly respected young, magnificent person, started service in June of 2023 outstanding in every way, she’s just passed away. She’s no longer with us. She’s looking down at us right now. Her parents are with her. It’s just happened. She was savagely attacked.
Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, an Afghan national, is accused of shooting Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe on Wednesday.
Both are from West Virginia.
Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, told the media that Lakawani would face the death penalty if either guardsmen or both died.
Wolfe remains in critical condition.
Trump said Wolfe is “fighting for his life” and “in very bad shape.”
Trump confirmed Lakanwal is in serious condition, but refused to talk about him.
