Trump on the death of National Guard soldier Beckstrom: details of the shooting in Washington.

According to ТСН: US President Donald Trump confirmed that National Guardsman and US Army sergeant Sarah Beckstrom, who sustained serious injuries during the shooting in Washington, has died. He announced this during a video link with American troops on the occasion of Thanksgiving.

"Sarah Beckstrom from West Virginia, one of the National Guardsmen we are talking about, is a highly respected, young, wonderful person, who began her service in June 2023 and was outstanding in every way. She has just died," Trump stated.

The President noted that during the attack, Beckstrom sustained life-threatening injuries. Regarding another injured National Guardsman, Andrew Wolfe, Trump reported that he is "fighting for his life."

"He is in very serious condition... We hope to receive better news about him," he added.

Trump also reported on the possible deportation of the family of Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the man who, according to law enforcement, opened fire in downtown Washington. When asked by reporters whether the deportation of the suspect's wife and children is planned, Trump replied:

"Well, we are looking at it right now. We are considering the whole situation with the family."

CNN clarifies that Lakanwal lived in Bellingham, Washington, with his family. He is a citizen of Afghanistan and arrived in the US in 2021 under a program for Afghans who cooperated with American agencies during the troop withdrawal. It is known that he previously worked for the CIA in Afghanistan.

Several sources in law enforcement have also confirmed that in April of this year, the Donald Trump administration granted asylum to the 29-year-old man.

Earlier it was reported that two National Guard officials were shot near the White House.

It was also reported that the shooter, who wounded two US National Guard servicemen in downtown Washington near the White House, also sustained serious injuries.

This tragedy underscores the risks faced by servicemen, even in times of peace. The situation has caused outrage and concern in society, as safety on the streets of the nation's capital has become one of the urgent issues. Further investigations should provide answers to many queries regarding the causes and circumstances of this tragic event.
