According to Newsmax, two National Guardsmen were shot.
Their condition is not known.
âThe Metropolitan Police Department in D.C. confirms they are on scene of a shooting at 17th and I Street, NW â thatâs less than a mile away from the White House,â Fox News reported.
The shooting comes barely a week after the âSeditious Sixâ Democrats attacked the military and urged them to defy Trumpâs orders.
BREAKINGâŚplease check back for updates. â
â The animal that shot the two National Guardsmen, with both being critically wounded, and now in two separate hospitals, is also severely wounded, but regardless, will pay a very steep price. God bless our Great National Guard, and all of our Military and Law Enforcement. These are truly Great People. I, as President of the United States, and everyone associated with the Office of the Presidency, am with you! â
â It is with great sorrow that we can confirm both members of the West Virginia National Guard who were shot earlier today in Washington, DC have passed away from their injuries. These brave West Virginians lost their lives in the service of their country. We are in ongoing contact with federal officials as the investigation continues.
Our entire state grieves with their families, their loved ones, and the Guard community. West Virginia will never forget their service or their sacrifice, and we will demand full accountability for this horrific act.â
Still think the enemy isnât inside the gates?
I hope they save the animals life.
â We are now receiving conflicting reports about the condition of our two Guard members and will provide additional updates once we receive more complete information.
Our prayers are with these brave service members, their families, and the entire Guard community. â
I hope the seditious six listen to this story and understand that the blood of those soldiers is on their hands.
My thoughts and prayers are with the soldiers and their families.
â Both victims were shot in the head, according to a U.S. official and a senior official directly briefed on the investigation. The mayor of Washington, D.C., said the shooting was a âtargeted attack.â
Two National Guard members were shot Wednesday afternoon near the White House. Officials provided conflicting reports on their conditions, but in the latest update shortly before 5 p.m., FBI Director Kash Patel said the victims are in critical condition.
The victims were ambushed, D.C.âs mayor and the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) said. A man turned a corner and fired at the guard members, MPDâs Executive Assistant Chief of Specialized Operations Jeffery Carroll said.
âThis is a targeted shooting,â D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said.
The suspect used a handgun and the shooting is being investigated as a possible act of terrorism, two senior U.S. law enforcement officials told NBC News.
The victims were shot just before 2:30 p.m., right next to Farragut Square Park and two blocks north of the White House.
The scene at 17th and I streets NW has been secured and the suspect is in custody, MPD said on social media just before 3 p.m. Police believe there was only one suspect in the shooting.
The suspect has been initially identified as an Afghan national, the two senior U.S. law enforcement officials said, but no other information about their identity has been released. Law enforcement officials are still trying to confirm all of the individualâs details, they said. â
â The gunman accused of shooting two National Guardmembers blocks from the White House the day before Thanksgiving is 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, three law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News Digital.
Lakanwal, an illegal migrant who entered the U.S. after the withdrawal from Afghanistan, overstayed his visa granted under Operation Allies Welcome, sources said.
Authorities are investigating the shooting as a possible act of international terrorism.
FBI officials confirmed the two West Virginia National Guardsmen remain in critical condition.â
Trump is going to add 500 more troops! WTF ![]()
My recommendation, we donât need more troops, as a tax paying AMERICAN CITIZEN, I think we should all start donating our ammo!
Or at least training these guys in how to phuckin engage the enemy!
You donât need much training if they would just shoot on sight.
Let it rip, open phuckin fire. Or is this the norm?
Heck just in my city alone 4 hit and runs with three deaths, three shootings w/2 deaths, child in parking lot killing by vehicle.
Thatâs just today!
Which brings me to my ROE.
Itâs 2am ( I know that just tripped something in your head, bypass it ) youâre sitting a a stop sign. Youâve had nothing to drink, no drugs of any kind. Just returning home from a family visit.
A pickup truck makes a wide turn smashing the front of your car, revs the engine backs up only to come at you again. You canât move backwards your car is disabled. You canât get out of your vehicle door is jammed. The truck rams you again. Do you open fire on the driver ![]()
Yes. Every round necessary to end the threat.
Kash Patel says they will pay federally for their crime of attacking federal officers. Just the way they federally prosecuted the guy that threw the sandwich at officers. Who got off Scot free!
I donât believe nor trust sh1t anymore!
Personally, think itâs time to shoot first, ask , ah phuck that, just shoot, then clean up! Questions, take it up with someone who gives a fâk.
Me Iâm all out of fâks to give!
Trust me, this is going to get worse 10 fold in the next 30 days.
President Trump give the phuckin green light already. ORDER THE CODE RED
WTF are we waiting for 2 deaths, 400 deaths 8,000 deaths. Get to work. These people are playing by a different rule book! We need to toss the existing one!
Iâm literally sick to my stomach!
Perhaps all of us should show up, we have much more training and obviously better skills!
Indeed, same.
This article contains several NSFW social media responses to Mark Kelly
They have literally declared WAR. So what are we going to do about it ![]()
By the powers invested in my oath, I hereby give the green light!
We donât need traitors in congress to tell us to return fire!
The Seditious 6 just levied war against the United States, that constitutes TREASONâŚArticle III section 3.
Furthermore, the President does not need a formal declaration from congress. Weâve been invaded and the enemy is literally ATTACKING!
And Iâm just sitting on my ass! WTF
Shouldnât the militia be called up considering the guard is not functioning properly ![]()
I donât think Iâve been more pissed off. Or do I just turn the other cheek?
NO ONE IS COMING TO HELP, we were the cavalry!
Where is Blumberg and Gifford? ![]()

âA Fox News journalist reported late Wednesday that the Afghan-born man who shot two National Guard troops deployed in Washington, D.C., entered the United States under former President Joe Bidenâs chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.
The report, from the networkâs Bill Melugin, ties the alleged ambush attacker to a program many criticized for its lax, sometimes nonexistent, vetting processes.
NBC News reported that the shooting was being investigated by the FBI as a potential terrorist act. The two members of the West Virginia National Guard were still in critical condition as of Wednesday evening.
The suspect, NBC News confirmed, was 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, whose last address was in Bellingham, Washington.
He was also shot in the ambush and is being treated at a hospital, although his condition was unknown.
The shooting happened as the National Guard members were on âhigh visibility patrolsâ near 17th and High streets in the District, according to Executive Assistant Police Chief Jeffery Carroll.
âThe suspect came around the corner, he immediately started firing a firearm at the two National Guard members,â Carroll said.
Melugin, meanwhile, reported that âmultiple federal law enforcement sourcesâ told him the suspect was âan Afghan national who entered the U.S. on 9/8/2021 as part of the Biden adminâs Operation Allies Welcome in the aftermath of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.â
âIâm told his permission to be in the U.S. expired in September of this year, and he is now in the country illegally,â he said in a post on X just before 7:30 p.m. Eastern.
Even as the Afghan withdrawal was happening in August and September of 2021, there were concerns about the refugee evacuation process put in place by the Biden administration.

In February of 2022, the Pentagonâs inspector general noted that they had identified at least 50 âpotentially significant security concernsâ among those who were evacuated to the United States, including those with suspected terror ties.
âSignificant security concerns include individuals whose latent fingerprints have been found on improvised explosive devices and known or suspected terrorists,â the report read, also noting that 28 of them couldnât be located.
âNot being able to locate Afghan evacuees with derogatory information quickly

âIn addition, the U.S. Government could mistakenly grant ineligible Afghan evacuees with derogatory informationâ immigration parole, it continued.
It is unclear from early reports whether or not red flags had been raised in the past regarding Rahmanullah Lakanwal, however.â
I seriously think the Demoncrats are preparing for a coup!
Rogue party, sleeper cells in our government, released prisoners + rogue military = coup.
I predict by July 4th the end of the U.S. as we know it or in this case knew it will be finished!
Watch the news, this crap is just getting started.
Any one willing to put money on Black Friday
At the very least, that weekend!
Curious to find out the motive on the attack. Regardless, the rhetoric from the left is not helping. They are to the point where they dont have any other option but violence. TDS is totally taken them over.
It is time to be proactive vs reactive.
