A suspect identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national, has been linked to a shooting that left two West Virginia National Guardsmen critically injured outside the White House in Washington, DC. Lakanwal is believed to have entered the US in 2021, during President Biden's presidency. According to reports, Biden condemned the attack, stating that 'violence of any kind is unacceptable.' However, his statement sparked outrage among social media users, who blamed him for the tragedy and claimed that his administration's policies allowed the suspect to enter the country. The shooting occurred on November 26 near the White House perimeter, where the suspect was taken into custody after suffering gunshot wounds. New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch expressed solidarity with the injured guardsmen, stating that the incident serves as a grim reminder of the dangers faced by law enforcement personnel. As the investigation continues, concerns have been raised about the suspect's immigration status and the potential security implications. The incident has sparked a heated debate, with some critics pointing fingers at the Biden administration's handling of immigration policies.
