President Donald Trump confirmed on Thursday that one of the two West Virginia National Guard members shot near the White House has died of injuries sustained in the attack. The shooting, which Washington officials described as a targeted assault, took place near 17th and I streets as the soldiers were conducting high-visibility patrols. The suspect, identified by the Department of Homeland Security as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who entered the United States in 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome, remains hospitalized after being shot by responding National Guard personnel.
