Two National Guard members shot in Washington, their condition critical
Stockholm, 27 November (Hibya) – Two National Guard soldiers were shot in Washington. The FBI director confirmed that their condition is critical. Earlier this evening, they were presumed dead. The attack is believed to have specifically targeted National Guard personnel.
The condition of two West Virginia National Guard soldiers who were shot late Sunday in Washington, D.C. is critical. The attack, which occurred near the White House, is being investigated by the FBI.
West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey announced earlier this evening on social media that the National Guard members had been killed. About twenty minutes later, he retracted the statement, noting that their condition remained uncertain.
FBI Director Kash Patel later confirmed to reporters that the soldiers are still alive but in critical condition.
Hundreds of National Guard members have been in Washington, D.C. since President Donald Trump deployed them in August. They were initially scheduled to stay until September, but earlier this month their deployment was extended until February. Their presence in the capital has been a highly debated issue.
