President Donald Trump<\/a> said Sunday that he spoke with the families of the two National Guardsmen shot last week in Washington, D.C. \u2014 telling the parents of 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom, who died from her injuries, and Andrew Wolfe, who is “fighting for his life,” that he wants to honor both soldiers at the White House.<\/p>\n

Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that the families of the West Virginia National Guardsmen were “devastated” following the attack that unfolded just blocks from the White House on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“Andrew is fighting for his life, and his parents are unbelievably great people, highly religious people,” Trump said. “They’re praying, and they want everybody to pray for Andrew, and he has a chance to make it.”<\/p>\n

Trump said he discussed a White House visit<\/a> with both families.<\/p>\n

“I said, \u2018When you\u2019re ready, because that’s a tough thing, come to the White House. We’re going to honor Sarah,\u2019” Trump told reporters. “And likewise with Andrew, recover or not.”<\/p>\n

Beckstrom, a specialist in the Army, and Wolfe, an Air Force staff sergeant, were among members of the West Virginia National Guard<\/a> deployed to the D.C. area after Trump signed an executive order aiming to tackle crime in the city earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The suspected shooter is Rahmanullah Lakanwal<\/a>, a 29-year-old Afghan national.<\/p>\n

Lakanwal had legally\u00a0entered the United States<\/a>\u00a0in September 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome, the Biden administration\u2019s Afghan evacuation and resettlement program.<\/p>\n

Lakanwal faces charges of first-degree murder and two counts of assault with intent to kill while armed. Attorney General\u00a0Pam Bondi<\/a>\u00a0has said the Department of Justice intends to seek the death penalty.<\/p>\n

Local vigils in West Virginia have honored the two soldiers, including one Saturday evening at Webster County High School, where Beckstrom attended classes.<\/p>\n

West Virginia<\/a> Gov. Patrick Morrisey called Beckstrom a “favorite daughter of Webster County” during the vigil, saying she had developed a reputation as someone with a big heart who loved to serve others.<\/p>\n

“She had a lot of kindness and she certainly had courage,” Morrisey told the crowd. “Though her life lasted far too short, she has left a mark that\u2019s going to last forever.”<\/p>\n
